Block Any DHS Funding That Includes ICE

To: Sen. Lee, Rep. Maloy, Sen. Curtis

From: A constituent in Salt Lake City, UT

March 16

I need you to block any Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill or Continuing Resolution that maintains funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The January 30th deadline is approaching, and Congress must not continue bankrolling an agency with this record. Since 2003, ICE has terrorized immigrant communities through unconstitutional border checkpoints, family separations, and denial of due process. Detained immigrants face physical, sexual, and mental abuse. Alex Pretti was murdered by ICE agents. Renee Good was killed in Minnesota. These are just two of the 9 ICE shootings since September 2025 alone. This pattern of violence cannot continue with taxpayer dollars. The "One Big Beautiful" bill already handed ICE a $75 billion slush fund without oversight or guardrails. No additional funding should flow to this agency. Vote no on any DHS appropriations that include ICE funding, and work to defund and dissolve the agency entirely.
