Trump’s federal agents shot and killed another person in Minnesota: Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who served veterans in his community.

When agents pushed a woman to the ground right next to him, he tried to help her up. His last words were “Are you okay?” And he was shot.

The shootings have to stop. The cover-ups have to stop. The bankrolling of this violence has to stop. We can all see with our own eyes what ICE is doing to our neighbors. Congress can — and must — step up.

There’s a Department of Homeland Security funding bill heading to the Senate this week, and I’m calling on every single Senator — Republicans and Democrats — to oppose it.

We are now in a position to slam the brakes and put some serious conditions on any money that ICE gets — including money approved earlier that they are still spending.

I want to be clear: If it were up to me, we would completely overhaul ICE, stop shoveling money into their budget, strip the agency down to its studs and end their abuses altogether. Hard stop. And I’m going to keep fighting for that.

But in the short-term, this is one of the best options we’ve got to condition any funding with specific demands that would have an immediate impact.

This is the time to be loud about this. Click here to find out how to call your Senators now and urge them to vote NO on DHS funding this week.

Even if you assume your Senators are already voting no, call them to make your expectations clear and thank them.

Even if you assume your Senators would never vote no, call them to make sure they hear from you as a constituent and make your demands clear.

We have a chance to use the upcoming funding bill to stop ICE from terrorizing our communities and putting lives at risk. It’s time for the Senate to step up, put some basic controls in place, and stop the violence.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
