I'm writing to thank Rep. Fitzpatrick for publicly opposing Trump's slush fund. I hope he will also oppose any additional funding going to ICE and CBP until: 1) DHS is held to the same standard as local police, and ICE and CBP officers are required to wear uniforms that clearly identify their agency, be unmasked, and be equipped with body-worn cameras during public enforcement actions. 2) DHS reforms hiring, screening, and training to remove unqualified personnel. 3) DHS personnel are held accountable for improper use of force and allegations of misconduct. 4) DHS guarantees that they will preserve Americans’ constitutional rights and operate within the rule of law. We should not be using our tax dollars to fund a Trump-inspired militia that is likely to be sent to continue to harass, intimidate and even terrorize our cities, particularly when they are trying to vote.
