Want to email the President, VP, and Oregon State legislators all at once to tell them vote NO on the proposed budget increase to ICE and its deportation efforts? Resistbot ( http://resist.bot ) is a great resource where you can email them for free! Just tell Resistbot you want to tell your state officials “No Budget Increase to ICE”. Either you can create your own message and choose your target contacts as the President and Congress (there are multiple options of elected officials. Send as many as you can to ALL of them) or you can copy/paste what I have below. YOU CAN DO THIS IN ANY STATE!! Just make your own!! https://resist.bot/petitions/PYLBEZ $167 BILLION to ICE is not immigration policy. It is infrastructure for a police state. This budget proposal would turn ICE into the largest domestic enforcement agency in the country. Detention funding jumps from $3.4 billion to $12.4 billion. Deportation and transport explode from $750 million to $14.4 billion. An additional $8 billion goes toward hiring thousands of new agents. This dwarfs increases to the FBI, DEA, and ATF. It reallocates public money from care to coercion. It is not about undocumented immigrants. It is about building a massive federal apparatus capable of targeting any group labeled undesirable. Once that infrastructure exists, it will be used. Not just at the border. Not just for immigration. This bill must be stopped completely. No amendments, no watered-down deals. It funds surveillance, disappearance, and domestic militarization. Make noise. Call Congress. Spread the word. Before this becomes law, and before we are the ones behind the fence.
