TELL CONGRESS: Trump’s gangs of lawless, unaccountable ICE agents tear gassed a family in Minnesota, nearly killing an infant. Masked agents are following a secretive ICE memo to enter homes without a warrant, breaking the law in another clear escalation of authoritarian violence. Sign the petition: Block ICE funding and end Trump’s ICE raids!

Trump built up ICE to act as his violent far-right domestic security force.

In Minneapolis, ICE tear-gassed a family in their car and nearly killed an infant — the mother had to perform CPR to save her baby’s life.1 ICE is detaining children in Minnesota as young as five years old.2 And news just broke that ICE is following a secret memo directing agents to break the law by entering homes without a warrant.3

Congress has a chance to block funding to ICE right now, and our lawmakers must act. A vote against ICE funding is a vote to stop Trump’s all-out authoritarian takeover.

Sign the petition: Block ICE funding and stop Trump’s law-breaking security forces!

As ICE marches across Minneapolis, Trump continues his disgusting smears against Rep. Ilhan Omar. Trump said, “She should be in jail, or even a worse punishment, sent back to Somalia.”4

Minneapolis is the latest frontline in Trump’s nationwide armed takeover. Government-sanctioned violence is getting worse. ICE is destroying families. DHS is imprisoning a record 68,000+ people in dangerous detention centers like Alligator Alcatraz and Camp East Montana.5

The White House has now invaded and terrorized Los Angeles, Washington D.C., New Orleans, Charlotte, Chicago, and other cities. Congress must take urgent action to block ICE funding, end the federal invasions, and protect our civil liberties.

Sign the petition: Stop Trump and Noem’s violent, lawless ICE raids immediately! No more funding for ICE.

Thanks for taking action,
