Congress -- use the power of the purse to rein in ICE

To: Sen. Peters, Sen. Slotkin

From: A constituent in Traverse City, MI

January 16

I urge the Senator to filibuster the upcoming Homeland Security appropriations bill unless: There are significant changes to how ICE operates, so they aren’t behaving like lawless thugs ICE’s funding bump from the One Big Beautiful Bill is erased and returned to last year’s levels of $10B annually (down from the larger $37.5B) I’m sick of watching lawful citizens and noncitizens being arrested at their jobs, assaulted at peaceful protests, pulled out of their vehicles, blinded by munitions, and getting shot and killed. It’s un-American. We need qualified, well-trained officers to enforce only immigration law — not rogue, unidentified agents detaining, assaulting, shooting, and murdering people. Congress needs to step up and use its power in the Constitution to rein in ICE. Thanks for listening and please do the right thing. Your voters are watching, I promise.
