I'm reaching out to urge you to filibuster the upcoming Homeland Security Appropriations bill UNLESS: ICE is completely defunded with operations paused until the agency can be vetted/reformed OR (and this is really the goal) ICE can be fully disarmed/disbanded. I'm sick of watching lawful people (including but not limited to American citizens) being arrested at their jobs, assaulted at peaceful protests, pulled out of their cars, blinded by munitions, and being shot and killed. It's DIRECT VIOLATION of our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS and we need qualified, well-trained officers to enforce immigration laws ONLY -- not rogue, unidentified federal agents detaining, assaulting, shooting, and murdering people. If DHS and ICE won't make these changes -- and according to Sec. Noem, they won't -- Congress needs to step up and use its power to reign in, change, defund, or disband ICE.
