Tom Steyer, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate, unveiled a plan on April 14 to combat ICE by proposing criminal prosecution of agents and leadership. Steyer characterized ICE as "acting like a criminal organization, carrying out indiscriminate racial profiling and using violence, intimidation, terrorism, and the murder of Americans." The centerpiece uses "supervisory liability" law to hold ICE leadership criminally liable for actions they direct subordinates to commit. This proposal comes amid documented allegations of ICE misconduct under Trump's mass deportation policy, including high-profile shootings of U.S. citizens.
