Reject Continuing Resolutions and Establish ICE Accountability Measures

I am writing to urge you to reject any further Continuing Resolutions and to support meaningful oversight and accountability measures for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Continuing Resolutions perpetuate dysfunction and prevent Congress from exercising its constitutional duty to set spending p

Oppose DHS Continuing Resolution and Demand Closure of Family Detention Centers

I am writing to urge you to oppose any continuing resolution for the Department of Homeland Security and to demand the closure of family detention centers as part of any final funding agreement. With just over four days until a partial government shutdown, this is the moment to insist on meaningful

Demand Apology for Racist Video Depicting the Obamas

I am writing to express my profound disappointment and outrage over the racist video posted to President Trump's Truth Social account depicting former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. This imagery has a deeply painful history rooted in dehumanizing Black Americans

Support 'ICE Out of Our Faces Act': Ban Facial Recognition by ICE

I am writing to express my strong support for the "ICE Out of Our Faces Act," a critical piece of legislation introduced by Senators Ed Markey, Jeff Merkley, Ron Wyden, and Pramila Jayapal. This bill aims to ban Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents

Consciousness of Guilt. The fact that the ICE agents are wearing masks indicates a consciousness of guilt as they rampage through Minneapolis. They know that they are breaking federal laws and violating the constitutional rights of citizens and immigrants. They are counting on a blanket pardon from

Better Dashboards

The information in the Immigration Enforcement Dashboard is incomplete and populated too slowly. "Only incidents verified by reputable media outlets or referenced in litigation are included." And that needs to change. You have the power right now to fund a small in-house team staffed with video fore

At least Hitler’s Gestapo did not wear masks. ICE (Trump’s Gestapo) wears masks which emboldens them to act as if they had immunity. Make ICE unmask and wear accurate name tags so there can be accountability in the future.

An announced drawdown of 700 ICE agents still leaves 2,000 to lawlessly terrorize Minneapolis. Operations there must stop until they comply with laws and the US Constitution.

Filibusters, consent objections, emergency hearings: DO SOMETHING!

In Minneapolis, ICE is still illegally stopping cars, pointing guns at protestors, and detaining them. DO SOMETHING! Filibusters, unanimous consent objections, demanding emergency hearings, ANYTHING! Act like citizens are being executed by government agents in the streets!

Stop a president who thinks he's a king

I am writing as a citizen who believes the Kennedy Center belongs to the public, not to any one president. The Center was created by Congress as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy. That meaning is not cosmetic. A sweeping renovation or prolonged closure without clear congressional approv

Require active duty ice agents to self identify

I want officers trained to protect and serve the safety of the public to be required to self identify when asked, required to have their faces visible when in active duty, be personally liable if found to be excessive in force, and to be personally liable if their body cams are not actively working

Urgent Appeal: Do Not Confirm Kevin Warsh for Federal Reserve Chair

I write to express my deep concern about the potential nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair. Although Mr. Warsh boasts impressive credentials, including crisis experience and expertise in both Wall Street and government, his current alignment with President Trump on interest r

From a constituent in Seaside, CA

Clear the swamp

I'm calling to urge the Congressmember to demand the immediate resignation of Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy, Kristi Noem as head of DHS, and Pam Bondi as Attorney General. Miller's diabolical racism and extremist anti-immigrant policies are endangering our nation, eroding intern

Defund and restrict DHS access to personal home security camera video without my explicit, written consent. ICE should not be able to have that video and use it to hunt and disappear people. Block ICE access to Flock especially (but not limited to) personal video cameras.

Support Stripping DHS Funding from Spending Package

I urge you to vote against any spending measure that includes funding for the Department of Homeland Security until meaningful reforms are implemented. The killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse and U.S. citizen, by federal agents in Minneapolis demands immediate congressional ac

No more masked ICE and Border Patrol!

Schumer's Inadequate DHS Reforms; Call for ICE Abolition

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) on Wednesday laid out three major reforms to immigration enforcement operations under the Trump administration that he said would be necessary to earn Democrats’ votes to pass a Homeland Security funding bill and avoid a government shutdown. He suggeste

NO $ FOR ICE. IMPEACH NOEM. STOP THE FASCIST TAKE OVER.

From a verified voter in Santa Cruz, CA

Congress must investigate the Paretti murder, with Kristi Noem under oath. If she repeats the same lies she has been spreading , she should be impeached and removed from office .

Sever DHS Funding

Jimmy, you already voted to pass this pile of garbage so I'm appealing to the two senators I MIGHT vote for in the future. But please read along. The spending bill that is in the Senate right now includes funding for DHS (including ICE). You need to sever the DHS funding, take it up separately, an

How many deaths before a vote whip?

Another execution by an immigration officer. Thank you for your vote against ICE funding, but how much pressure did you put on Hakeem Jeffries to whip the vote? How many more need to die before Democratic leadership takes the threat of Trump's gestapo seriously?

Prevent Misuse of the Insurrection Act Before It's Invoked

I am writing to urge immediate congressional action to prevent misuse of the Insurrection Act. The President has explicitly threatened to invoke this law in response to protests in Minneapolis arising from federal immigration enforcement operations. This is not a hypothetical concern but a stated in

Defund ICE!

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors-they deserve to be defunded, and I'll take any step in that direction. Talk like this! Do you

Defend the editorial independence of Stars and Stripes

I implore you to act swiftly and decisively to shield the editorial autonomy of Stars and Stripes, a revered news outlet for our military community since the Civil War. On January 15, the Department of Defense unveiled plans to overhaul Stars and Stripes, intending to dedicate half its content to Pe

Protect Liam Ramos and Abolish Ice

I am writing as a concerned constituent to urge your immediate attention to the detention of Liam Ramos and to express my deep opposition to the continued existence and expansion of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The detention of Liam Ramos highlights the broader, systemic harms caused

Oppose Offshore Drilling in CA

I urge you to oppose the Trump administration's proposed 5-Year Offshore Drilling Plan, which would open unprecedented stretches of U.S. coastlines to new oil and gas drilling. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is accepting public comments until Friday, January 23, 2026, and I ask that you submi

Oppose the 5-Year Offshore Drilling Plan

Oppose Trump's Threats Against Greenland and Denmark

I am writing to urge you to take immediate action to oppose President Trump's threats to impose tariffs on Denmark and seven other European countries unless the United States is allowed to take control of Greenland. This crisis represents a dangerous departure from international norms regarding terr
