Dear Senator, I am writing to ask that you push to defund ICE by opposing any DHS appropriations bill that maintains ICE funding and supporting legislation that claws back the $75 billion ICE slush fund created by H.R. 1 last year. This lawless agency is violently attacking and killing immigrants and citizens around the country and must be defunded and dissolved for good. My understanding is that President Trump and Stephen Miller stripped a provision from this bill that would have protected US citizens from detention and deportation. This is blatantly unconstitutional, as is ICE’s memo saying they can break into people’s houses without a judicial warrant. Congress is supposed to protect and uphold the Constitution. I urge you to do something immediately to curb this unlawful behavior. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
