Urge Investigation and Closure of Dilley Immigration Detention Center

I am writing to urge you to investigate the conditions at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas and advocate for its immediate closure.

Vote NO on S128 aka the SAVE ACT

Please vote NO on S 128 aka the SAVE ACT. It will create impediments to voting for anyone who has legally changed their name, had their documents misplac ed or stolen, and will disenfranchise thousands of voters across the state of CT. Citizenship is already a requirement and voter fraud is extremel

Censure Donald Trump Immediately

If Trump isn't at least censured for his overtly racist post about Barack and Michele Obama, I think the last remaining ounce of hope I have in governmen t may very well disappear. I'm not the only one. It's time to go off book here. Please do something.

Stand firm with DHS demands

I'm a constituent from Coventry and I write in support the requests from Leaders Schumer and Jeffries to continue funding of DHS.

Thank you for the hearing about ICE

Senator, thank you for holding the hearing to get the horrifying stories of Americans victimized by the Trump regime's dangerous ICE agents on the record. Enough is enough. The agents involved and all leadership that allows their lawless behavior must be removed and tried for violating constitutiona

Please impeach and remove this monster now. There is no question anymore on who he is. He is planning to send ICE to stop us from voting. We need to stop this administration now. Impeach and remove. Dismantle ICE. Thank you.

End Funding for ICE

I am writing as your constituent to urge you to oppose the current federal funding bill unless it fully eliminates funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Unconstitutional: Drop Retaliatory Charges Against Four Black Journalists NOW

The Department of Homeland Security’s arrests of Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy on Friday, January 30, in connection with a St. Paul, Minnesota church protest are an unacceptable abuse of federal power and must be reversed immediately. Arresting journalists and

NO FUNDING FOR DHS I’ve seen some interesting ideas floating around. Rescission for the Big Beautiful Bill ICE funding. No DHS funding at all. Trade something for firing Stephen Miller. Impeaching Noem. Impeaching Trump (and Vance and the rest of the cabinet). I’ve also heard that Mr. Blumenthal m

Impeach Kristi Noem

The events surrounding the deaths of multiple people by ICE and the statements made by DHS leadership have been in contradiction to reality. Kristi Noem can no longer be trusted to lead ICE and a Congressional inquiry into the use of force policies should be held immediately. Factfinding of the deat

From a verified voter in Danbury, CT

The GOP can stop the modern Gestapo aka ICE if they want to. They choose not to. They choose to be obsolete to Trump and his regime. What makes things worse is the fact that 7 Democrats voted with the House GOP to give DHS and in the process ICE more funding. These 7 have a range of excuses for voti

ABOLISH ICE NOW, END THE VIOLENCE

ABOLISH ICE NOW. They are lawless murderers, thugs with no respect for human life or decency. The bottom line is they MUST be stopped.

Protect boundary waters

VOTE NO on H. Res 140. It is the greatest threat to the Boundary Waters ever. It would allow mining (benefitting a Chilean robber baron) and cause permanent toxic pollution. VOTE NO. DO not put private profit before our shared precious legacy of the magnificent Boundary waters.

From a verified voter in Vernon Rockville, CT

Abolish ICE

The only acceptable stance on ICE is to abolish it. No reforms. Not just defunding. Abolish it. We can think about what it will be replaced with when we reform the flawed immigration system we currently live under. ICE does more harm to our communities than good. Doing anything other than abolishing
