You won’t believe how much money Biden’s federal budget proposal would give ICE and CBP, team.
$25 billion.
No, that’s not a typo. It includes a slush fund of nearly $5 billion for ICE — giving them a blank check to continue wrongly demonizing, criminalizing, and abusing immigrant and border communities.
We need President Biden and Congress to prioritize immigrant communities in the 2024 federal budget — not recklessly pump money into immigration enforcement agencies. Will you rush a donation to help UWDA organize and advocate for dismantling the deportation machine?

$25 billion could be used to…
📓 Invest in education
🏥 Make healthcare more affordable
🏠 Make access to housing more equitable
🧡 Deliver a pathway to citizenship
But instead, ICE and CBP will have $25 billion at their disposal to separate and detain families, increase deportations, and militarize their enforcement tactics.
We need to speak out against this increase in funding for ICE and CBP that will empower them to continue terrorizing and criminalizing immigrant communities — and we need to do it quickly.
Will you add a donation of any amount to help us mount a fight to defund ICE and CBP? We need a federal budget that strengthens our communities, not tears them apart.
