I strongly urge you to reject and vote NO on the “One Big Beautiful Bill” since it will undermine and destroy the constitution and bill of rights. This bill is the most un-American legislation I can imagine. Just these few items alone should be enough to squash this bill. Fascism is raising its ugly head in this bill and you do not want to be part of the dismantling of our democracy. • $45 billion for expanding immigrant detention centers under Section 70101, including ones for families and children, with no requirement that they be licensed by states. That means more families locked up in privately-run hellholes, for longer, with less oversight.
 • $858 million in bonuses for ICE agents—outlined in Section 70102—rewards for those willing to sign up to rip families apart, and stick around to keep doing it.
 • $8 billion more to hire 10,000 new ICE agents over the next few years under Section 70103. This is basically building a deportation army. • Section 112209 gives the President sweeping power to strip tax-exempt status from any nonprofit he decides is "supporting terrorism." No court review. No clear definition. Just presidential decree. Please stand firm and reject this bill in all of its insidious forms. You will destroy what many have fought for and protected if this becomes law.
