Michigan Open Letters

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

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

I am writing to urge you to support the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and vote against any appropriations bill that includes funding for the Department of Homeland Security. The fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge demand immediate

From a verified voter in Marlette, MI

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

I am writing to thank Senator Gary Peters for committing to vote against the upcoming Department of Homeland Security funding bill. 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.

Save our country from ICE

ICE and DHS are visiting untold cruelty on our citizens, neighbors, and those who wish to call America their home, while MAGA lies to our faces. Stand on the right side of history, decry ICE and end state cooperation with them.

Where are the Epstein files?

You are standing by and watching out of politeness while our democracy is ripped apart in front of us. Americans are being executed in the streets. We ar e creating unnecessary international clashes. All to protect the Pedophile in chief from being exposed. We are over a month past the due date to r

From a constituent in Chelsea, MI

No more tax dollars for ICE lawlessness! Vote NO on the funding bill if it includes our tax money going to pay for ICE and DHS. These agencies are kidnapping and murdering Americans in the streets and denying our state FEMA aid for disasters. Our taxes should not be given to actions that harm and re

From a constituent in Hillsdale, MI

They are killing the helpers. Renee Good was not a domestic terrorist, she was a wife, mother, and an observer. Alex Pretti was a VA nurse, in the ICU. Alex Pretti was helping women who had been knocked down and he paid with his life. Renee Good paid with her life. Is it "enough," yet? I have a targ

From a constituent in Pinckney, MI

ICE are Murderers

We know that the senate is voting on funding for DHS and ICE. We know that this risks another shut down. Do it. Shut it down. Shut it all down. Shut it down and shout from the rooftops why: they are killing us. Own the Democrat Shutdown label and scream at the top of your mind why every interview

Vote to Impeach President Trump for High Crimes and Misdemeanors

Dear Senator Slotkin and Representative Barrett, You both built your public identities around service, national security, and care for those who serve this country. Alex Pretti was a VA ICU nurse. He spent his career caring for veterans. He believed in the dignity of service and the responsibility
