Quigley Calls for Dismantling of ICE

January 29, 2026

Press Release

Today, Chicago Congressman and former defense attorney Mike Quigley (IL-05) released the following statement on DHS’s killing of Alex Pretti and called for the dismantling of ICE in its current form:

“The murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti has shocked and horrified all Americans. It is now abundantly clear that, under Trump, ICE and CBP cannot function as intended. ICE has been co-opted by Trump into a secret police bent on frightening, intimidating, and harming Americans. As the saying goes, the fish rots from the head.
