John,
Last week, the House of Representatives (including seven Democrats) voted to give a fresh pile of cash to ICE.
Two days later, another peaceful observer, Alex Pretti, was executed in Minneapolis — shot in the back multiple times after being tackled and beaten by five U.S. Border Patrol agents.
The Senate is scheduled to vote on this funding bill later this week, and Republicans only need seven Democratic Senators to capitulate in order to guarantee an expansion of ICE’s reign of terror. We can’t let them succeed.
In Minnesota and across the country, working people are courageously standing up and meeting this moment — and our voices are making a difference.

ICE has spent the last few weeks ramping up their attacks and spreading violence and chaos. They thought they could get their way through force and propaganda alone.
But in Minnesota and all across the country, communities have stood strong — and we are winning.
Public opinion has turned decisively against ICE. Elected officials in both parties are feeling the pressure. And even the Trump administration now says they plan to reduce the number of federal agents in Minneapolis, including Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino.
We can’t back down in this moment.
If your Senator is a Democrat, we need them to hold the line. This is not the time for compromise — not when ICE thugs are killing civilians in the middle of the street.
If your Senator is a Republican, we need to turn up the pressure even more. Seventeen GOP members in the House recently broke from their party to extend ACA subsidies. They know how historically unpopular their current course is. And we can convince them to break from their party again, if enough of us speak out.
