From a verified voter in Ossining, NYThe episode today with the El Paso airport further illustrates that DHS is poorly run. It has expanded too quickly, due to the hyper-growth given to it by the passage of the "Big Beautiful Bill." This episode, along with the gross human rights violations and legal incompetence we have seen, indica
From a verified voter in Brooklyn, NYDefeat the SAVE act
Under no circumstances should the SAVE voting act pass the Senate. It is disgusting what the Republicans will do to disenfranchise voters. Requiring a passport or birth certificate places an undue burden on the poor, students, people of color. Vote NO.
From a verified voter in Jackson Heights, NYNo Continuing Resolution for DHS
I am writing to urge you to vote against any Continuing Resolution for the Department of Homeland Security unless it includes substantial reforms to ICE and Border Patrol. These agencies are operating without accountability and are endangering the public. I ask that you support only a funding bill t
From a verified voter in Cropseyville, NYVoting rights
I am a person who changed my last name when I got married, so my birth certificate does not match my other forms of ID. This is such a blatant attempt to I trust that you are using every resource to mount a defense against the SAVE Act, which will disenfranchise me as well as basically 50% of US cit
From a constituent in New York, NYOppose the SAVE America Act and the MEGA Act
I live in Red Hook NY and am a very concerned constituent who opposes the SAVE America Act and the Make Elections Great Again (MEGA) Act. Our democracy is built on eligible voters having access to the ballot box so every voice can be heard. These bills make it harder for eligible citizens to regist
From a constituent in Brentwood, NYI am writing to you, to implore you to vote no on the repeal of section 230. If this is successfully repealed, this would damage the Internet. This would damage free speech, and would allow the Trump government unlimited power to silence anyone opposing his ideas. I have noticed that you both are
From a verified voter in Brooklyn, NYCut ICE funding, don’t just reform!
We must reduce ICE funding drastically. Congressmen Schumer and Jeffries, you have proposed reforms but no cuts to the current budget proposal. Is ICE deserving of $11 Billion?! If you're ICE, it's an easy choice: take the money. First, concede some of Jeffries and Schumer's ten demands, then ignor
From a verified voter in Corona, NYReject the SAVE Act
Shut down the SAVE act. It amounts to an unconstitutional poll tax and voter suppression. Voter fraud is essentially not happening in this country, a federal power grab is unwarranted and dangerous. Electoral fraud is more likely given the current jokers in charge, and other legislation is more reas
From a constituent in Albany, NYICE cannot be reformed especially while they are still out there. If you bring them in, fire and put their leadership on trial, root out that bad training, remove their militarized weaponry and return them to the boarders with an entire different mission there is a chance they can work. That is not
From a constituent in Elizabethtown, NYAbolish detention centers
ICE detention centers are inhumane and vile. There is no transparency to avoid human rights violations. Defund ICE!
From a constituent in Brooklyn, NYDemocrats Must Stop Caving: Defund ICE and Hold DHS Accountable
I am writing to express deep outrage and profound disappointment at the continued willingness of Democratic leadership to accept limited reforms and symbolic concessions while ICE and DHS continue policies that are costing lives, undermining civil liberties, and spreading fear in our communities. R
From a constituent in Bronxville, NYDHS Funding
Regarding the DHS funding bill, I'd like to see the immigration-related parts (CBP, ICE, and ERO) of the bill get stripped out of it (in the way DHS was stripped from the omnibus bill) in order to allow for thoughtful reforms before funding those agencies. This would enable funding of other parts of
From a constituent in North Baldwin, NYICE OUT Act must pass
Today, U.S. Representatives Eric Swalwell (CA-14) and Dan Goldman (NY-10) introduced the ICE OUT (Oversight of Unchecked Tactics) Act, legislation which would strip qualified immunity from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents who use excessive forc
From a verified voter in Jackson Heights, NYFree Leqaa and block DHS funds: no medical neglect!
Today’s motivation to withhold DHS funding: Leqaa Kordia. She has been unlawfully held in detention for 11 months in Texas, despite not breaking any laws. Ms. Kordia recently suffered a medical emergency and is hospitalized. ICE is not sharing her location or condition with her counsel or family. Pl

From a constituent in Ithaca, NYProtect freedom: De-escalate ICE actions in our communities
I am writing to follow up on a letter I sent a few weeks ago about ICE actions that I believe are terrorizing families and communities. I do not want the pressure or attention on this issue to let up, because the stakes for people across America are too high. No matter one’s party or political view
From a constituent in Ithaca, NYBetter respect the dignity of public office
I am writing as a constituent who often reaches out on policy matters, but today I want to share a broader concern about the tone of our public discourse. It is critical that all lawmakers and public officials maintain a basic level of respect toward the citizenry and toward one another. When publi
From a constituent in New York, NYRelease All Epstein Files
I urge you to immediately release all Epstein-related files in full, without redactions that protect powerful individuals. The public has a right to know who enabled, participated in, or covered up sexual exploitation and trafficking. Justice requires transparency, accountability, and the naming of
From a verified voter in New York, NYRacism Condemnation Bill
Please pass legislation to condemn racism in our politics, particularly given the recent Trump Obama meme. We MUST have a record of who in Congress stands up for our values. It’s time America knows who is truly racist and who is not.
From a verified voter in New York, NYFraudulent ICE / DHS Spending - Olympics
Do not fund ICE agents and their Olympic escapades. This is an appalling use of tax payer funds and is fraudulent. If we need law enforcement send our armed forces.
From a verified voter in Jackson Heights, NYICE beats and kills, and lies about it: No funds for DHS
Have you seen the reporting about Mr. Alberto Castañeda Mondragón? In case you missed it, this is his story: https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-minneapolis-hospital-ice-beating-assault-4e77742e0629fc7f127c0aa38b3d2a70#. He was beaten brutally by ICE, who lied about the cause of his
From a verified voter in Jackson Heights, NYPlease ACT on the Epstein files. Justice Now!
Why hasn't Trump and everyone else named in the Epstein files been charged with breaking laws yet? Who has the guts to prosecute? We have child rape, trafficking, murder, cannibalism.... WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED? In any other situation citizens would be taken into custody by now. Step up, press charg
From a verified voter in Rochester, NYGo Public With Concerns About Trump's CIA
Senator Wyden and Representative Warner have both come forward with grave concerns about the CIA's recent activity, without specifying what that activity is. I'm asking you to demand these concerns be made public to the American people. Under the Speech and Debate Clause these congressmembers would
From a verified voter in Jackson Heights, NYFriendly reminder: no funds for DHS
This your friendly reminder to block any appropriations to DHS unless there are meaningful and binding reforms. Specifically, ICE and CBP must be reined in to follow the law, immediately. The ultimate goal is to dismantle DHS entirely. *Take back the ridiculous $75 billion in ICE funding. *No addi
From a constituent in Kingston, NYThe SAVE act is part of the war on women and MUST be stopped! Preventing women from voting simply because they married and changed their name? Beyond absurd and utterly unfair! Please stop this from passing!!
From a verified voter in Amsterdam, NYLet me be very clear. Your job is NOT to secure funding for the Israeli genocide of Gaza. Your job is to represent the people who voted for you. Stop playing into fascism's hand. Stop pretending Israel is the Jewish faith. Take a stand against the ADL; stop taking their money for your campaigns. It
From a constituent in Unadilla, NYYou have a fine list of demands for funding DHS, but they are the bare minimum of what should be demanded. You CANNOT GIVE ONE INCH. Your demands should also be more aggressive. We need much more, so why not start from the position of abolishing ICE and compromising on much more stringent reforms?
From a verified voter in Brooklyn, NYCondemn Donald Trump’s Racist Truth Social Post
You must plainly and loudly denounce President Donald J. Trump for his racist and repugnant Truth Social post depicting former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. It is a direct deployment of dehumanizing stereotypes, and it is behavior unbefitting not just an electe
From a constituent in Slingerlands, NYTrump’s vile racist tweet about a former president is disgusting and unacceptable. Most Americans would lose their job for posting that.

From a constituent in Oceanside, NYReduce the DHS Budget NOW
