Every day, the Trump administration is using its already unprecedented DHS funding to terrorize communities, tear-gas schools, and abduct and kill our neighbors. The harm being inflicted hasn't stopped. Below is a snapshot of how ICE and CBP continue to hurt our communities with the billions CBP and ICE have already provided, how deeply unpopular these actions are with the public, and how voters are demanding Congress not send additional funding to the agency.
DHS has already received $191 billion in reconciliation funding, including $75 billion for ICE, $64 billion for CBP and $22 billion in a slush fund to be used for immigration enforcement.
Here is a sampling of big stories from the last few days that continue to show the Trump Administration is pushing ahead on its wrong and deeply unpopular immigration actions:
911 Calls From ICE Detention Center Underscore Concerns About Conditions, Advocates Say

(https://abcnews.com/US/911-calls-ice-detention-center-underscore-concerns-conditions/story?id=130731700&cid=social_twitter_abcn)Emergency audio reveals repeated medical crises involving pregnant women and young children at the Dilley facility.
Emergency 911 calls from Frio County obtained by ABC News (https://abcnews.com/US/911-calls-ice-detention-center-underscore-concerns-conditions/story?id=130731700&cid=social_twitter_abcn) document a series of medical emergencies at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, including staff requesting ambulances for a 17-month-old child, a 6-year-old boy with a high fever, and multiple pregnant women experiencing seizures and fainting. A board-certified pediatrician who recently wrote to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem calling for the release of all children at Dilley described the situation as "a human rights catastrophe." DHS disputed the characterization, saying detainees have "ongoing access to on-site medical professionals."
This assault on the people by its government must stop. Abolish ICE and Impeach Noem.
