Friend,
In July, Trump signed the so-called “One Big, Beautiful Bill” into law, handing the Department of Homeland Security an additional $170 billion to supercharge his mass deportation agenda. Some of what's included:
$45 billion for detention camps and jails
$32 billion for ICE raids
$50,000 in signing bonuses for ICE agents
$47 billion for new border walls
This law gives $30 billion to ICE alone – a staggering amount of money that is larger than the budgets of most militaries around the world. Even before this surge in funding, ICE was already out of control, routinely violating people’s rights and putting lives in danger. This new budget paves the way for even more abuse, more disappearances, and more family separation.
While Republicans funnel billions into a rogue agency that wages violence against immigrant communities, they are also closing rural hospitals, cutting food aid, and dismantling education. They’re handing $1 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthiest 1%, while increasing budget deficits by $3.4 trillion. We don’t have a money shortage. We have a values shortage.
As this bill causes hospitals to close, families to go hungry, and communities to be dismantled, we must remember that this was a choice made by too many of our elected officials. We must hold them accountable. We must be loud in our opposition to the attacks on our democracy. We must do everything we can to support our immigrant neighbors whose lives are being torn apart by this administration.
Are you with us? Add your name to say: I stand firm for democracy, the Constitution, and dignity for immigrants. ([link removed])
