I’m reaching out to urge you to reject any Fiscal Year 2026 bill that increases ICE funding—not one more penny for Trump’s deportation force. Congress must end mass detention and racialized dragnet operations that target people based on race, language, or accent. I’m also asking you to end Border Patrol deployment in our cities and stop its ever-expanding role as a personal secret police force that terrorizes communities. ICE must no longer be allowed to operate slush funds. Congress should cut off ICE’s ability to move money around for detention centers and military-style weapons, and instead impose real, enforceable limits on agency power. Finally, I urge you to support independent investigations into every death and abuse in custody, ban private detention profiteering, and require full transparency for every taxpayer dollar spent. Please vote NO on any bill that expands ICE or CBP funding without these protections. I expect you to stand with our communities, the rule of law, and human dignity. Thank you.
