NO ICE $$ & IMPEACH TRUMP

I am enraged that another American citizen was murdered today by ICE. Rep. Bergman: You dishonor our country, your Oath to the Constitution, and our military (from which you are retired) by continuing to support Pres. Trump. Yesterday, you voted YES to give even MORE money to a group of masked, un

Vote no on ANY ice funding. No exceptions.

I am urging you to vote NO on any legislation that includes funding for ICE—regardless of what else is attached to the bill. This moment does not call for hedging or procedural excuses. ICE has become a tool of fear, political repression, and authoritarian enforcement. Continuing to fund it is inco

Another murder by ICE

How many murders by ICE will it take for Congress to see that something must be done -- URGENTLY. Americans are not safe with this gang of thugs roaming our cities, shooting people at will. Congress is not without a great deal of power. Use it.

You cannot protect democracy, you are no leader. Resign.

Resign immediately, you cannot protect democracy sitting on your hands with your head in the sand. You cannot protect democracy with legislation. You cannot protect democracy with weakness.

Federal agents execute an unarmed American, yet you do nothing. Resign.

End ICE's Terrorizing Tactics Against Immigrant Families

I am writing to demand immediate action to stop Immigration and Customs Enforcement from terrorizing communities across America.

Enough is enough. Will you stand up for our democracy?

I’m alarmed by the continued presence of armed federal immigration agents in civilian communities. I’m dismayed by rhetoric from public officials that threatens elections, constitutional limits on presidential power, and the domestic use of militarized force. These actions undermine public trust a

Have you no shame? The blood of innocent people is on your hands. Many of you claim to be Christian. You are pharisees, hypocrites, liars, and betrayers. Shame on you all.

ICE has murdered another person. All ICE agents must be recalled from Minneapolis, and anyone who was there should be fired. ICE must be debanded. Anyone involved in these murders must be prosecuted, all the way to the top. You must stop ICE.

From a constituent in Battle Creek, MI

Stop the funding of ICE, FILIBUSTER!

We the people need to remind ourselves that we are the conservatives, basing our beliefs on the constitution and rule of law. While those trying to establish a fascist government with no accountability for their actions are the radicals. Please filibuster and stop the funding of ICE.

No to funding ICE

Please, please do not vote yes on the funding bill if it legitimizes ICE and funds it more. They are turning in to a militia to identify and force out anyone who does not fit their version of "white". I have adopted children, now adults, from abroad and and now fear for them daily. Please help!

Oppose racist immigrant visa freeze

I’m opposed to the Trump administration’s decision to suspend visa processing for applicants from 75 countrieswhere people are overwhelmingly Brown and Black. This discriminatory action is being falsely justified as removing a risk to the public. It will disrupt lives unnecessarily since the visa
