Background Information
After months of mass public pressure from communities across the country, Congress passed a clean DHS funding bill with zero new money for ICE and Border Patrol. Now Republicans in Congress are trying again and are pushing a reconciliation bill that could hand up to $70 billion more of our taxpayer dollars to ICE and CBP, even though these agencies are already sitting on $150 billion in unspent funds and continue operating with virtually no accountability.
There is no emergency or funding crisis for ICE or CBP. Republicans in Congress are choosing to poor billions into mass detention, deportation raids, and family separation instead of addressing the affordability crisis facing everyday Americans.
Call or send a letter to your members of Congress now demanding they vote NO on more ICE and Border Patrol funding.
SCRIPT
Hello, this is ______________ and I live in_________________. As your constituent, I urge you to oppose any increased funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Border Patrol. Last year’s bill gave DHS $191 billion, the largest immigration-enforcement funding in American history. They still have $150 billion in unspent funds. Our taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be funding Trump’s cruel and unpopular deportation agenda while families are struggling with the affordability crisis. Vote NO on more funding for ICE and CBP and oppose any reconciliation bill that expands Trump’s mass detention and deportation agenda. Americans want Congress focused on lowering costs and helping working families, not writing black checks for ICE and CBP.
Thank you.
