Noem MUST GO!

Noem MUST GO! Her sins are many, and needn’t be recounted here. She is clearly unfit and unaccountable, and responsible for the deaths of American citizens. Force her out! Resign, be fired or be impeached, but get her out of the federal government. After that, go after Stephen Goebbels Miller

ICE must be de-funded

De-fund and then abolish ICE The entire ICE institution as an institution has demonstrated itself to be lawless, racist, inhumane and violence-seeking. It cannot be reformed or trained from what has become its core function. It must be disbanded and replaced As a starting point, any attempts to add

NO to DHS and ICE Funding

Below I am quoting Josh Marshall from Talking Points Memo. Regarding the funding of DHS and ICE, just say NO! These are his words to the Senate, with which I fully agree. “We won’t stand for any of this. We don’t want masked secret police preying on American communities.” “You want our votes?

The house is on fire . . .

The language I’m hearing from Democratic Legislators makes evident they don’t seem to understand the unprecedented opportunity at their doorstep. To those of us on the streets protesting it seems the house is on fire and our Legislators want to empty the dishwasher. I never thought I’d have the cou

Defund Ice 🧊

Defund ICE by opposing any DHS appropriations, Bill that maintains Ice funding, and support legislation that claws back the $75 billion ICE slush fund created by H.R. 1 last year. Thank you for fighting for not only Oregon but America.

Prohibit the use of ICE for voter suppression

Prohibit the use of ICE as a voter suppression tool. You must insert into the apropos bill a prohibition of ICE agents being near polling places. This is an essential step to protect free and fair elections. Save our democracy!

From a verified voter in Beaverton, OR

ICE recently received billions in additional funding through the so-called “One Big Beautiful” bill, with no meaningful guardrails or oversight. Congress effectively handed ICE a massive slush fund while expanding its operational reach and shielding it from consequences. Senators must not allow thi

We urgently insist that Stephen Miller be fired immediately. As Chief of Staff and Homeland Security Advisor, Miller has led our nation into destruction and chaos.

Defund ICE

As a constituent, I'm urging you not to support any DHS funding bill that gives ICE and Border Patrol more funding or fails to rein in their abuses. We need to end CBP deployment in our cities, stop family detentions, and prohibit ICE and CBP from targeting people based on ethnicity and place of emp

Vote No on funding govt until ICE is disbanded.

I'm writing today because I feel strongly about defunding/abolishing ICE. Please continue to vote no on any funding that does not actively defund ICE. Any sort of "reform" is just adding a distraction, they need to be out of our streets. It is very clear that this organization is being weaponized ag

From a verified voter in Roseburg, OR

No funding for ICE.

I have seen Senator Schumer's demands of actions that need to be taken by or with respect to ICE. The problem is that a lot of those things are standards of procedure already, and that ICE isn't following them. Accordingly, I ask that your focus continues to be: defund, abolish, impeach, prosecute.

Thanks for your continued good work!

Clean up DHS or do not fund them

I’m writing to express my deep concern about DHS policies and methods. Please do not fund them until they have stopped abusing Americans and immigrants. Everyone here deserves to be treated lawfully. I believe the whole team needs to go. Kirsti Bovino. And especially the architect of the cruelty S

Please vote to block ICE funding

Please do everything in your power to stop the bill passing which will give more funding to ICE. With the recent murders by ICE, I am feeling more and more unsafe in this country. They are behaving like secret police, and need to be stopped. My family are all US citizens, but that doesn't stop me fr

Homan is alleged to have accepted a $50,000 bribe in exchange for government contracts. He’s replacing Bovino the failed commander of border control stationed in MN. We can do better and must do better. No ICE or CBP in US cities and thoroughly investigate Homan. This corrupt government must be

From a constituent in Beaverton, OR

Do not fund ICE. Repeal the 75 billion multi-year funding. As long as ICE and CBP are weaponized to go after anyone who peacefully disagrees with their brutal tactics NO TAXPAYER MONEY should go to their agencies. The agencies need to be reworked and leader Noem must be removed. Finally for justic

Vet the Epstein Collaborators

I recently was made aware of claims by someone named Sascha Cohen Riley who claims to have been an Epstein victim. Has Congress looked into this and considered direct questioning?

Do not compromise on DHS funding

ICE's reign of terror against the American public must end. No matter what Chuck Schumer recommends, DO NOT COMPROMISE on the DHS funding bill. The lives and safety of the American people is in your hands. Trunp's actions today do not signal a change of heart. They signal that he has been backed int
