Michigan Open Letters

From a constituent in Muskegon, MI

You don’t “significantly reform” fascism. You have to crush it. The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards. ABOLISH DHS.

Urging Opposition to ICE Funding

I am writing to urge you to oppose all current and future federal funding for ICE. What we are witnessing across the United States is deeply troubling. ICE and related federal immigration enforcement operations have been involved in many use-of-force incidents, including fatal shootings in Minneapo

Investigate Hospitals That Quietly Paused Gender-Affirming Care

I am writing to urge you to take action regarding hospitals in our state that have preemptively closed their gender-affirming care programs for transgender youth despite state law permitting this essential medical treatment. Children's Hospital of Los Angeles and Children's National Hospital in Was

Support Dignified Approach to Questions on Transgender Issues

I'm writing to encourage you to adopt Rep. Sarah McBride's approach when addressing questions about sex, gender, and transgender issues. Her recent response on a Bulwark podcast demonstrates how to navigate these questions with honesty and principle rather than evasion. When asked about differences

No Money For ICE!

We have seen ICE behaving in the most depraved ways. Murdering, kidnapping, ignoring civil and human rights, torturing people in their detention centers. This is not an organization that can be fixed or reformed, nor can we trust the Republicans to implement or adhere to any deal. Do not fund I

From a constituent in Grand Rapids, MI

I have always taken my kids to protests. I've marched for human rights with a baby on my back, and knocked doors with my boys in a wagon. Last year I brought my foster daughter to her first women's March and she watched my chorus sing about our power to make change for the people we care about. Last

Reject Federal Demands for State Voter Roll Data

I am writing to urge you to reject Attorney General Pam Bondi's demand for complete, unredacted voter rolls, including Social Security numbers, drivers license data, and party affiliations. This request represents an unacceptable federal overreach that threatens voter privacy and election integrity

From a verified voter in Ann Arbor, MI

Ignore Schumer, Dissolve DHS

Defunding DHS is not enough. DHS needs to be entirely dissolved and reformed. Noem & Miller must be impeached and DHS agents participating in illegal acts must be charged and barred from any security or policing role. Ignore Schumer. He is pulling back when we need to move forward. Abolish ICE.

Demand Accountability for ICE Killings and Support Abolition of Federal Enforcement

I am writing to demand accountability for the recent killings by ICE agents and to urge you to support the abolition of federal immigration enforcement as it currently operates. Keith Porter, a 43-year-old Black man, was killed by an off-duty ICE agent in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. Weeks later,

NO on the DHS funding bill

Senator, vote NO on the DHS funding bill until we’ve gotten some real concessions on ICE. They must agree to pull out of Minneapolis, for starters. We need independent investigations into Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s murders. We need real accountability for ICE agents who commit crimes. Kristi Noem

From a verified voter in Oxford, MI

ICE and CBP have shown a pattern of reckless disregard for the rights, safety, and lives of the very citizens they are meant to protect. As such, it is time to take away their guns and other weapons—including pepper spray, flash-bang grenades, rubber bullets, and all other “less lethal” ammunition

From a constituent in Muskegon, MI

DO NOT PASS FUNDING FOR DHS. DO NOT CAVE. DO NOT LET YOUR FELLOW DEMOCRATS CAVE — NOT FOR ANY REASON. American tax dollars absolutely CAN NOT go to pay an agency to murder our neighbors and try to cover up their actions without accountability. It MUST STOP HERE. Shut the whole damned government d

Urge Constituents to Comment on Foreign Aid Gender Ideology Rule

I am writing to urge you to encourage your constituents to submit public comments opposing the Trump administration's new rule titled "Combating Gender Ideology in Foreign Assistance," published Monday in the Federal Register.

Time to stand up for what is correct.

I am demanding you impeach Trump and Noem, defund ICE and block political insurrection act threats right now. Everything this regime is doing is illegal. You know it, and all of your constituents know it. It's time to stand up for the country and do what is right. So far you have not done so. Do

VOTE NO ON ALL FUNDING BILLS!! SHUT THE GOVT DOWN!!

DO NOT approve any funding bills this week. Zero! Shut the government down using every tool you have available. If any bills are passed, Trump has proven he doesn't think laws apply to him. He'll just move money from a different area to give ICE the money. ANY funding bill that is passed will be u

From a constituent in Grand Rapids, MI

Vote no on funding ICE. They are murdering US citizens in broad daylight. Encourage your colleagues to do the same. If you fund ICE you are a traitor. Defund ICE, stand up to these thugs that are killing Americans for existing.

Support Impeachment of Secretary Noem and Vote Against DHS Appropriations

The fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge demand immediate

Defund DHS

Eliminate all funding for DHS. ICE and Border Patrol operatives are now acting as though the Second Amendment does not exist.

From a constituent in Lansing, MI

Defund ICE

ICE needs to be defunded now. There are no more excuses. We will have to figure out a different way to handle immigration enforcement. ICE cannot and must not be allowed to do it. They are committing far, far more harm to our country than any undocumented residents are. They are domestic terrorists

Thank You for Voting NO on DHS Funding

It's clear to many of Senator Peters' constituents that ICE poses a serious threat to our communities, and I am glad to see his recent public statements acknowledging t

Oppose DHS Funding Until ICE Accountability Measures Are Implemented

I am writing to urge you to vote against any Department of Homeland Security funding bill that does not include meaningful accountability measures for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The recent shooting of Renee Good, a young mother in Minneapolis, and the death of Mr. Pretti represent a patter

Oppose Further ICE/DHS Funding Without Accountability

I am a Michigan constituent writing to urge you to refuse any further funding increases or blank-check appropriations for ICE and federal immigration enforcement operations until Congress imposes real oversight, clear limits, and accountability. Yesterday’s fatal shooting in Minneapolis, in which a
