John,
As ICE agents terrorize our communities, murdering people in broad daylight and in ICE custody, everyday people across the country are speaking out.
In Arizona, State Senator Analise Ortiz shared an Instagram post warning residents about ICE’s presence near a local elementary school. Immediately after Sen. Ortiz shared this post on social media, Arizona Republicans called for her to be expelled from the Senate.
They referred the Instagram post both to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Arizona Senate Ethics Committee, demanding investigations and trying to claim that she “obstructed justice.”
Her Republican colleagues are continuing to target her. They just announced a bill to make it a felony to “interfere with ICE”—and they referred to her resharing a post as an example of the behavior they want to criminalize.
From state legislatures to Congress to each of our communities, we must hold ICE accountable and protect our constitutional rights, including the right to free speech.
Let’s show Arizona State Senator Analise Ortiz that we have her back as she’s attacked for speaking out. Please split a donation between our campaigns today to power our movement to abolish ICE and protect our communities.
At the state and federal level, MAGA Republicans are seeking to silence dissent—trampling on our rights of free speech and due process.
This fascist regime is using the power of the federal government to attack our communities and our constitutional rights.
I’ll keep fighting back in Congress, demanding my colleagues abolish ICE and stop ICE from murdering our neighbors.
And even as Republicans continue to vilify immigrants and our movement to abolish ICE, leaders are stepping forward to counter them.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has stood firmly by Sen. Ortiz’s actions, stating that the Senator was clearly within her rights and stopping a county-level attorney from investigating Sen. Ortiz.
We will not stay on the sidelines as these lawless immigration agencies terrorize our communities, making us unsafe in our own neighborhoods. Across the country, we’re seeing unrelenting acts of defiance against this administration.
Please split a donation today between Arizona State Senator Analise Ortiz and my campaign to ensure we have the resources we need to power our movement to abolish ICE.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately, split evenly between Analise Ortiz and Rashida Tlaib.
We will not be silent in the face of ICE terror or other state-sanctioned violence.
In solidarity,
Rashida
