An Open Letter

To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff

From: A constituent in Albany, CA

January 15

I am beyond horrified by ICE’s abuses in Minnesota and elsewhere. I ask that you please refuse to vote for any DHS appropriations bill that fails to rein in ICE. I’d also like you to make a public statement saying as much. We can’t wait around while federal agents harm more American citizens and law-abiding immigrants alike. Please push for an appropriations bill that puts serious restrictions on it, ends its dragnet raids, and doesn’t add a penny to its already bloated budget. Additionally, please push Chuck Schumer to get on board with this effort and make a public statement about it. His weakness in this moment is deeply disappointing.
