The Green Party of Utah (GPUT) strongly condemns the Killings committed by Federal Employees during the month of January 2026, as well as the failure of the elected officials associated with both the Republican and Democratic Parties to put an end to the violent and inhumane violations of Constitutional Rights plainly evident to the Public.

“The current and recent actions committed by, and at the behest of, the Executive Branch of our National Government are plainly in violation of not only multiple Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, but of virtually every definition of Human Rights,” states Tom King, member of the GPUT. “And yet, the Elected Representatives of the People, orders from State and Federal Courts, and hundreds of Court Cases have all failed to stop these actions from continuing.”

Matt Styles, Secretary of the GPUT adds, “Renee Good and Alex Pretti were innocent, law-abiding U.S. citizens who were executed in the street for no other reason than for resisting unlawful coercion by Federal ICE agents. They are not the only victims either, with many more dying in ICE detention centers even when they do comply. The only thing arguably more horrendous than this may be the complicity of our elected officials in allowing this to continue. At this point it is clear that the only way we will get the message across is to organize together and shut the system down with a general strike. When we stand together, we win.”

The GPUT therefore issues an urgent and strong call for these actions:

• The Elected Officials from both Major political parties work with each other in their respective chambers of Congress to quickly and urgently put an end to the current GOP Regime’s actions against the American People and the Constitution of the United States.
  
  
• The removal of funding from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
  
  
• The immediate suspension of the illegal and deadly actions in which ICE and CBP are engaged
  
  
• The investigation and prosecution of any violations of Court Orders or Laws in which this Regime has engaged.
