Indivisibles,

Yesterday, the House passed a package of six funding bills, ending the
partial government shutdown and temporarily funding the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) through February 13. 

This vote buys time to negotiate a DHS funding bill that protects
communities from two DHS agencies that have been terrorizing and
brutalizing our communities: ICE and Border Patrol. 

It’s critical we use that time to put pressure on every Member of Congress
-- especially Democrats -- to insist on real guardrails that put an end to
ICE and CBP’s lawless thuggery and get them out of our cities. We can’t
settle for insufficient reforms like body cams -- we’ve all seen that
Trump’s goons are perfectly happy to gas, tackle, and kill innocent people
on film. 

Whether or not you’ve already called or emailed: We need EVERYONE to be
loud over the next nine days and make capitulation politically impossible.

More often than not, we’ve seen Congress fail to stand up to Trump with
Republicans falling in line with his cruel agenda, and Democrats
forfeiting their leverage in critical funding fights. But there have also
been moments where the grassroots pressure and the public backlash have
been so strong that Democrats find their spines and Republicans start to
peel away from the regime.

We saw this when Congress defied Trump and passed a bill requiring the
release of the Epstein files. We saw it again last month (at least
initially), when five Republican senators joined with Democrats to advance
a war powers resolution after Trump’s invasion of Venezuela. 

The killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti has created a backlash against
ICE that spans parties. And if we keep up the pressure, we could see
Congress defy Trump again and rein in his lawless secret police force. 

And whether or not Republicans listen to their constituents who are
clamoring for action, DHS funding cannot pass without Democratic votes. 

There are only nine days to go, so we need to act quickly. Contact your
Members of Congress and demand they vote no on any DHS funding bill
unless, at a minimum, it:

* Pulls ICE and Border Patrol out of Minneapolis and the rest of our
communities

* Prevents ICE or Border Patrol enforcement at designated "sensitive
locations" such as houses of worship, day cares, and hospitals

* Restricts ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to target people based on
their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at
the time of the apprehension

* Ends the administration’s unlawful practice of warrantless home entry
and arrests

Use our updated call scripts and email tool to contact your Members of
Congress today:

demands, and answers to common questions about ICE/CBP funding and a
potential shutdown.

Ultimately, there’s no reforming ICE. When we regain power, we need to
strip the entire Department of Homeland Security down to the studs. But we
don’t have to wait that long to rein in ICE and CBP. We have a chance to
do it now, and we have to take it. 

In solidarity,
