DO NOT CAVE ON FUNDING ICE

To: Sen. Markey, Rep. Lynch, Sen. Warren

From: A verified voter in Roslindale, MA

February 4

Here are some powerful words from Robert Hubbell. Please take heed: <<In this moment, “bi-partisanship” is a code-word for “capitulation.” There is nothing bipartisan about allowing ICE to continue public executions. There is nothing bipartisan about allowing roving gangs of masked men with automatic rifles and grenade launchers to terrorize peaceful residents of cities and states whose only crime was to vote against Donald Trump in 2024. There is nothing bipartisan about jailing children. The current proposals for “reforms” floated by Democrats amount to nothing more than asking ICE to observe minimum standards of conduct that apply to every law enforcement agency in America. That is not reform. That is begging ICE to behave—“Pretty please, with a cherry on top.” The truth is that ICE is so broken, so corrupt, that it must be disbanded and a new agency must be created to replace it. It must be defunded, its ranks cleared of officers caught on tape beating, shooting, tear-gassing, punching, and mocking Americans who are going about their daily lives or exercising their First Amendment rights.>>
