I am writing to urge you to vote NO on the budget resolution and forthcoming reconciliation package that would give ICE and Border Patrol 70+ billion more dollars without any guardrails or accountability. ICE and CBP already received $170 billion in the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act to facilitate mass arrests, detention, and deportation. This funding has led to families being separated, children being jailed, and even U.S. citizens being killed in the street. Instead of boosting chaos and cruelty, Congress should support guardrails like: Codifying guidance for safety at places of worship, schools, and hospitals (as provided by the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act, S. 455 and H.R. 1061). Ending family detention and immigration detention expansion. Ending warrantless arrests by masked agents and halting enforcement actions based on profiling (sometimes called “Kavanaugh Stops”). I urge you to vote NO on the budget resolution and any reconciliation package that continues to fund the lawless immigration enforcement. Thank you.
