Reinstate “sensitive locations” exclusions on ICE and CBP.

Immigration enforcement activities do not belong in hospitals or clinics. ICE and CBP intrusion into these previously “sensitive locations“ is inhumane and threatens public health. Healthcare spaces must be reserved for care and healing. We call on elected officials to reinstate exclusions on ICE an

Thank you for standing up to ICE -- but we must do more!

I am very pleased to hear (from WBUR) about Gov Healey's intention to stop ICE and other out of control federal forces from using state resources. And I support the bill that she is intending to put to the legislature to restrict immigration enforcement in sensitive locations. But we can and must do

The murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are worth shutting down the government. Toe the line. Shut down the government.

Public Safety and Democracy Depend on Stopping ICE and CBP

Thanks to the OBBBA, we have now seen in heartbreaking, bloody detail what Donald Trump’s idea of immigration enforcement means for our communities. It’s masked thugs executing protesters on camera and law enforcement investigating their families instead of the killers. It’s little children being s

Split DHS Funding—ICE Must Not Survive This Budget

Congress faces a January 30 deadline to complete funding for fiscal year 2026. Five appropriations bills—covering the Departments of Defense, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and related agencies—are ready to move. One bill is not: the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill,

MEDICAL CARE FOR ICE DETAINEES

I am writing with an urgent message about 5 year old Liam Ramos, the little boy who was taken by federal agents in MN last week. It appears that he and his father are at the Dilley facility in Texas. Apparently, Liam is very sick and he is not being provided with medical care. Sen Castro was able

Congress must enact real legal limits on DHS now I urge Congress to reassert the rule of law over the Department of Homeland Security through binding legislation. This is more important than hearings, statements, or political theater. Personnel changes alone are not sufficient. What matters is whe

Please do not support any bill that has DHS funding in it. They are incompetent thugs harming the people!

Kristi Noem Must Go as DHS Defies Courts and the Constitution

I am writing to demand immediate congressional intervention in response to the escalating crisis at the Department of Homeland Security and its immigration enforcement agencies. The killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis—following the earlier killing of Renee Good—was not an isolated tragedy. It was

Rein in ICE and restore Congressional power!

Please use this moment of leverage to insist on reining in ICE, and restoring Congressional control over the purse-strings. Also, the Administration cannot continue ignoring the plain language of the Epstein Transparency Act. I am glad to see the unified Democratic caucus at this point, but we need

No funding for ICE! Restore Congressional power!

I am pleased to hear your strong opposition to ICE, and desire to "raze it down to the studs". I agree. And I'm happy to see the unified Democratic insistence that the current DHS funding bill is dead on arrival. However, we need to use this moment of leverage to extract as much as we can. I urge yo

More representatives are stating that articles of impeachment for Kristi Noem are being drafted. Are YOU drafting any articles? Do you plan to sign on to any/all articles? If not, I respectfully request that you resign.

Protect MA from ICE

Please sign legislation to enact the following guardrails to limit participation with ICE and protect our state from ICE’s violence: 1.

I presume that you are voting NO for today’s vote on funding DHS. Your vote of NO is a clear message that Pretti and Good’s murders must not be funded. We, the people of Massachusetts are watching your vote.

Bovino’s ejection isn’t enough - no $$ for ICE

Though Dan Bovino being sent home in disgrace is satisfying, it does not mean ICE should get one thin dime in the budget. Don’t approve any budget for the thugs that are terrorizing and killing people all around our country. This must stop.

The SAVE Act Is a Systematic Plan to Suppress the Vote

I am writing to urge you to oppose the SAVE Act (H.R. 22 / S. 128) and any expanded version, including a so-called “SAVE Act Plus” or “Super SAVE Act.” This legislation is not about election security. It is a coordinated effort to suppress lawful voters by turning registration into a bureaucratic ob

VOTE NO ON ICE FUNDING

Deny funds for ICE

I think it is urgent that no further funds be issued to ICE. If it takes shutting down the government to defund them, then so be it. These people have b een shown to be murderers, and they are attacking our citizens who are peacefully protesting. I will be watching. Please take a super active role

Don’t vote yes on ICE

The Senate Must Withhold DHS Funding Until ICE Is Brought Under the Law
