An Open Letter

To: Sen. Gillibrand, Rep. Velázquez, Sen. Schumer

From: A constituent in Brooklyn, NY

January 29

I’m glad to hear that the DHS bill has been carved out from the other 5 budget bills and that the Senate is now in discussions about how to rein in ICE. I want to be clear—STOP NEGOTIATING WITH THE TERRORISTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE! I’m looking at you CHUCK SCHUMER! Do your job! We want NO NEW ICE FUNDING ever. Ice cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE! And we want more. We want Miller, Noem, and Bondi gone. Resigned and out of the White House. We want to see ICE agents’ faces and badges—no more masks and no more anonymity. We want an end to quotas and racial profiling. We want an independent investigation into Renee Good’s and Alex Pretti’s murders. We want oversight at detention centers so people in them can stay safe. We want an end to family detention. We want ICE back at the border and out of our communities. And ultimately, we want ICE abolished and replaced with an immigration enforcement agency that abides by the law, has real guardrails, and treats immigrants humanely. And I want the Senator to vote no on any proposal until we have ironclad guarantees that we will get all of that. Thanks.
