NO funds for ICE. Rein it in, dismantle it, expose human trafficking

To: Sen. King, Sen. Collins, Rep. Golden

From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME

March 30

Say NO to ICE human trafficking. SAY NO to ICE bounty hunting. NO MORE FUNDS FOR ICE. Do oversight. Depose Stephen Miller. Say NO to ICE at the polls. Right now more people are held in ICE concentration camps than Hitler's camps had in 1939. ICE agents shoot Americans at point blank range and joke and lie about it. There have also been more deaths in ICE detention than ever before. Ken Klippenstein reports on evidence for trafficking and a shocking incentive scheme: "An internal ICE financial ledger l obtained shows how the agency is turning local police departments across the county into a vast, decentralized immigration army," Klippenstein wrote Wednesday on his Substack. "This includes payments if cops sign up to be deputized, reimbursements for transportation, salary supplements for cops who process migrant children, and per-arrest-style incentive payments." Americans do not support mass deportations. ICE kidnappings spread terror and decimate small businesses as well as large industries, agriculture and construction. The cost of detaining a person is huge-- and it subtracts that person's tax payments from the economy. -- all so some huge corporations can profit. Justice came for Hitler's accomplices, even camp guards. Justice will come for ICE. Please, use very tool available to rein in and reform ICE. It is monstrous that the big bad budget bill funds ICE for seven years in advance and more than the marines. No more funds for ICE. Help the GOP understand that they are complicit in humans rights abuses and crimes.
