Nurses’ Union Calls for ICE Abolition Following Alex Pretti’s Killing
Following the killing of nurse Alex Pretti by a federal agent, the National Nurses United (NNU), the largest nurses’ union in the U.S., has demanded the abolition of ICE, citing the agency’s violence and threat to public health. NNU condemned the shooting as an act of “cold-blooded murder” and called on the Senate to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The union, representing 225,000 members, vowed to oppose members of Congress who support funding for ICE. This adds to a growing chorus of support for abolishing ICE, reflecting increasing public concern.
