Immigration enforcement is no longer a distant policy debate — it is shaping how power is exercised, how laws are applied, and how entire communities experience the rule of law.
In this timely conversation, “ICE and the Rule of Law,” we examine the expanding authority of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the serious questions it raises about accountability, civil liberties, and constitutional protections.
Joining the discussion:
• Mike Downing, former Deputy Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, who brings decades of law enforcement experience and insight into the responsible use of public authority.
• Keith Ellison, Minnesota Attorney General, who addresses the legal and civil-rights implications of unchecked enforcement power.
Together, we explore how immigration enforcement policies are impacting trust in public institutions, what safeguards may be eroding, and what principled, justice-centered responses grounded in human dignity can look like in this moment.
This conversation goes beyond politics. It asks fundamental questions:
Are our laws being applied fairly?
Are our institutions accountable to the people they serve?
And how do we uphold both security and constitutional protections in a way that reflects our shared democratic values?
Watch, engage, and join the dialogue.
