We're asking the American people to demand that Congress prohibit profiling based on race, ethnicity, language, accent or location, because that's not supposed to be who we are. Congress is being asked to codify a reasonable use of force policy and to mandate body-worn cameras. so we don't have murders happening in our name by ICE agents. And we're asking them to allow independent investigations into agent misconduct, to require consent from local jurisdictions, and to give access to counsel for detainees. (03:24–03:37)
