Background:

Following the federal funding deal passed in med-November 2025, Congress faces another January 30th deadline to pass the remaining appropriations bills to fully fund the government for fiscal year (FY) 2026; this includes the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill.

Recent atrocities committed against both immigrants and citizens under the Trump administration have shone a light on abuses of power by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its parent agency, Customs and Border Protection (CPB).  However, these abuses ae hardly new.  Since ICE and CBP were established in 2003, the agencies have terrorized immigrant communities, conducted unconstitutional border checkpoints, torn apart families, denied immigrants their due process rights, and subjected detained immigrants to physical, sexual, and mental abuse.  The killing of Renee Good in Minnesota was the 9th ICE shooting since September, 2025.

ICE also received an influx of billions in additional funding from the BBB that placed no guardrails or conditional oversight on the use of the funds.  This created a $75 billion slush fund for ICE to continue their violent attacks on our communities.

Message:

Call or email  your representatives to block any DHS appropriations bill or Continuing Resolution (CR) that maintains funding for ICE.  This lawless and violent agency must be defunded and dissolved for good.

I'm calling to urge you to oppose any appropriations bill for DHS that maintains any funding for ICE.  This lawless agency has been violently attacking and killing immigrants and citizens around the country and must be defunded and dissolved for good.
