Exclusive: Voters in Key States Will Get Last-Minute Reminder About ICE’s Spree of Shootings
America's Voice is running a billboard campaign across five states
Voters in key battleground states will be reminded of the violence inflicted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement over the past two years in a new ad campaign, paid for by an immigration-reform focused nonprofit.
America’s Voice, which advocates for immigration reforms, is launching the effort in the final weeks of the midterm campaign season to call for the end of President Donald Trump and the Republicans’ mass deportation campaign and to remind voters of several deadly shootings by immigration enforcement officers.
Billboards will be going up in Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Minnesota and Iowa, directing voters to a website making the case for an end to mass deportations. All of the billboards will feature images of immigration enforcement operations, including officers in masks and wearing military-style gear.
The billboards in Minnesota will also feature images of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, two people that were killed by immigration enforcement officers early in 2026 during Operation Metro Surge, one of ICE’s marquee operations over the past year. The Texas billboards will also feature a photo of those honoring the life of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a man killed by immigration enforcement officers in July.

Vanessa Cárdenas, Executive Director of America's Voice, told The Caucus in an interview that she believes that now “Americans are rejecting his agenda because they’re seeing the results, especially as it relates to mass deportations.”
“I think there's deep anger and resentment about just how much they're targeting the Latino community. We know that it does not matter whether you or not you're undocumented because there have been so many cases of people with legal status, U.S. citizens even, who are again being racially profiled,” Cárdenas said.
At the same time Cárdenas said that she expects to see a repudiation of the mass deportation agenda in these midterm elections regardless of any voter suppression tactics that might be tried on Election Day.
“We already know that this administration is deploying in all types of ways to suppress the vote, and we do feel like that is a strategy that they're using. At the same time, I think that, based on the polls Latino voters are motivated; they're wanting to send the message because of the harm they are experiencing at the local level. My hope is that people are going to make their voices heard,” Cárdenas said.
