The Senate is *set to vote on funding for ICE the week of January 26th*—just days before the January 30th government funding deadline. But here’s the truth: *Our country is funding genocide in Palestine AND fascism in our streets.* The same system that arms Israel’s massacres in Gaza funds ICE’s raids, abductions, and executions here at home.
ICE is a *paramilitary force with no accountability*, and both parties have *funded it for years*. Now, you’re offering *more money*—for body cams and training—as if that changes anything. *Body cams can be turned off.* *Training can be ignored.* The only solution is *abolition*—just like the only solution in Palestine is cutting off U.S. funding for genocide.
We demand you:
1. *Reject every dollar for ICE*—no more funding for terror at home or abroad.
2. *Shut down the government if you have to*—if that’s what it takes to defund ICE and stop funding genocide, then *do it.*
3. *Abolish ICE and cut all military aid to Israel*—no reforms, no excuses.
*Your silence funds fascism—here and in Palestine.* If you vote to fund ICE or Israel, we’ll make sure your voters know you *chose genocide and gestapo tactics over human lives.*
