TELL THE U.S. SENATE: A Border Patrol agent murdered Alex Pretti last week in Minneapolis, and ICE killed Renee Good just two weeks earlier. Trump's far-right security forces are unleashing shocking levels of violence against people across the country. Congress can't continue to fund these horrors, and a Senate vote is set for this week. Sign the petition: Block latest ICE funding bill!

After an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good, an innocent bystander observing an ICE protest in her car, Trump's far-right security forces only escalated their lawless violence across Minneapolis. On Saturday, Border Patrol (CBP) killed another community member, Alex Pretti, at a protest.1

Trump and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem have sent thousands of agents2 to occupy and terrorize Minneapolis, unleashing gangs of unaccountable, masked ICE and Border Patrol agents to kidnap people from their jobs, imprison children, tear gas families, and murder civilians.

A vote for DHS funding, the department that runs ICE and CBP, is set for THIS WEEK. Senate Democrats must stop this funding and end Trump's authoritarian horrors.

Sign the petition: Block funding for ICE and Border Patrol now!

Last week, seven Democrats in the U.S. House voted with Republicans in favor of the DHS funding bill — rubber-stamping Trump's invasion in Minneapolis.3 The Senate now has the opportunity, and urgent responsibility, to reject this new funding for ICE and Border Patrol.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that Democrats planned to block the DHS funding bill. "What's happening in Minnesota is appalling — and unacceptable in any American city," Sen. Schumer said.4

After Democrats in the House failed to check Trump and ICE, we must pressure Senate Democrats to hold the line and put a stop to funding for Trump's violent federal terror campaigns.

Sign the petition: Vote NO on DHS funding bill this week!

Thanks for taking action,
