Defund ICE and CBP, Shut Down Detention Centers, Release Detainees Now

To: Rep. Elfreth, Sen. Alsobrooks, Sen. Van Hollen

From: A verified voter in Arnold, MD

June 5

Vote no on any budget that funnels more money to ICE and CBP, and work immediately to defund and dismantle both agencies. The Senate's vote-a-rama already allocated $140 billion to these agencies, and now there's a push for an additional $70 billion on top of that. That is not border security — that is a blank check for mass detention and abuse, and I want you to block every dollar of it. People are being held in detention facilities without adequate medical care. That is not a policy disagreement — that is a human rights crisis happening right now on American soil. Every detainee must be released and provided proper medical attention immediately. No more delays, no more bureaucratic excuses. I expect you to use every legislative tool available to make that happen.
