Your senators are on the cusp of a critical vote.
This week, they will vote to either stand with the people or Trump’s new and terrifying version of ICE, an agency that has acted recklessly and lawlessly in communities across the country.
If you haven’t contacted your lawmakers, now is the time to make your voice heard. Because Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Keith Porter, and the 32 people who were killed in ICE custody last year can’t.
Email your lawmakers now. Demand they hold ICE accountable for its violence and disregard for human life by withholding their funding until we see real change.
Thanks for everything you do.

Subject: Tell your lawmakers: Freeze funding for ICE
We know you’re probably as outraged and sickened by ICE’s brutality as we are. Right now, average citizens in cities and towns that look like yours are being attacked, taken, and even killed. Immigrants are dying in detention in alarming numbers. It’s hard to watch and even harder to feel powerless to stop it.
But you don’t have to sit on the sidelines—and Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton shouldn’t either. Congress has the power to hold ICE accountable, and we have the opportunity to make sure they stiffen their spines and actually get to work.
We’re facing a critical government funding deadline on January 30th, and we can use that to our advantage by demanding Congress withhold any additional funding for ICE.
Tell your representatives to demand accountability and oppose additional funding for DHS without safeguards that rein in ICE’s violence and lawlessness.

In their Billionaire Budget last year, Trump and Congressional Republicans nearly tripled funding for ICE, making it the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the country. All of this money came from somewhere—from cutting healthcare funding for millions of Americans to gutting other vital social services.
Your tax dollars shouldn’t be used to terrorize your community or kill innocent people.
Tell your lawmakers that lives are at stake. It’s up to them to use the power of the purse on January 30th by withholding funding for this violent band of thugs until something is done to stop their abuses. It’s time for ICE to stop terrorizing our country. Urge your legislators to withhold further ICE spending.
Thanks for all that you do.
