MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- One of the candidates for governor in a crowded Democratic primary field has proposed creating a new state commission dedicated to reviewing possible civil rights violations by federal immigration officers.

Joel Brennan on Friday released an outline for a new body called the Wisconsin Accountability Commission. As governor, Brennan said he would create the commission through an executive order. 

Brennan, who is currently president of the Greater Milwaukee Committee nonprofit and was previously secretary of the Department of Administration during Gov. Tony Evers' first term, said the commission would have five key functions.

Members would be tasked with collecting photo and video evidence of reported Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations and abuses; they would track patters of ICE enforcement actions and uses of force in Wisconsin; they'd scheduled public meetings to discuss their findings; they would issue reports laying out their findings; the commission would also refer potential civil rights violations "to appropriate state or federal authorities."

“The rule of law is sacred and no one is above the law,” Brennan said, according to a release from his campaign. “Wisconsin will not let Trump and ICE violate our rights and undermine our values.”

Among the other candidates for governor on the Democratic side, Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez called for the Legislature to enact laws forcing ICE officers to show their faces and wear body cameras while operating. She also voiced support for laws making it easier to sue individual immigration officers for alleged rights violations.

Madison-area lawmakers, Sen. Kelda Roys and Rep. Francesca Hong, have said they support abolishing ICE entirely.

The Democratic primary field also includes former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and former Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation Secretary Missy Hughes. 

On the Republican side, Congressman Tom Tiffany is the lone candidate after Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann dropped out of the race earlier this week.

Schoemann's decision came less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump endorsed Tiffany in the Wisconsin governor's race. 

The primary election for statewide offices like governor will take place on August 11.
