Cobb County announced that Cobb County Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Lisa Cupid, along with District 2 Commissioner Erick Allen, and District 4 Commissioner Monique Sheffield, sent a letter to Senators Warnock and Ossoff, and Representatives Loudermilk and McBath, addressing concerns over federal immigration enforcement tactics in Cobb County.

All three county elected officials who signed the letter were Democrats.

The letter comes on the heels of two people, U.S. citizens and Renee Good and Alex Pretti, being killed by ICE and border patrol agents during the ongoing occupation of Minneapolis by heavily militarized and masked immigration agents.

Minneapolis and Minnesota officials have been highly critical of the presence and behavior of federal agents in the city.

According to the Cobb County news release about the letter from the chairwoman and commissioners:

While acknowledging the role of federal enforcement, the letter highlights recent reports of violence and lethal force that have raised significant public safety and constitutional concerns. The Commissioners are calling for federal support to ensure that all federal law enforcement activities are conducted with the highest levels of professionalism and accountability.

To protect our residents and maintain community trust, they are urging our representatives to support impartial investigations, enhanced training, and clear officer identification.

These Commissioners remain committed to ensuring that every resident of Cobb County feels safe and that all law enforcement — at every level of government, operates with respect for human dignity and all constitutional rights.
