As your constituent, I urge you to ensure the appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security halts ICE and Border Patrol’s terror campaign and protects our communities. Alex Pretti and Renee Good’s killings are unacceptable. Enough is enough. This is a result of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies that put everyday people at risk. You cannot stand by while ICE continues to harm communities across the country.  I am counting on you to support a new DHS appropriations bill that, at minimum: Ensures there is not one penny more for ICE or CBP Pulls ICE and Border Patrol out of Minneapolis and the rest of our communities Prevents ICE or Border Patrol enforcement at designated ‘sensitive locations’ such as houses of worship, day cares, and hospitals Restricts ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at the time of the apprehension Ends the administration’s unlawful practice of warrantless home entry and arrests Every member of Congress must insist on real limits and accountability before any funding is approved. Thank you for your time, and I hope to see you standing up for the safety, dignity, and rights of all people in our communities.
