NO MORE FUNDING FOR ICE - Stop the weaponization of ICE against Americans
To: Rep. Foushee, Sen. Tillis, Sen. Budd
From: A verified voter in Holly Springs, NC
January 15
Something must be done about ICE’s lawlessness before more innocent Americans die!
I’m calling on you to:
❌ Reject increased funding for ICE or Border Patrol: The budgets for ICE and Border Patrol have already skyrocketed. Every Member of Congress should refuse to give another penny to these agencies as they tear apart our communities.
✅ Restrict ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to conduct dragnet arrest operations and target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at the time of the apprehension. These agencies have secretively created a mass surveillance apparatus that uses dragnet techniques to forcibly collect and track biometric data on American citizens and immigrants alike without any legislative, judicial, or public oversight.
✅ End Border Patrol deployments to our cities and reject its ever-expanding mandate in immigration enforcement. Trump’s DHS has been deploying Border Patrol in complex immigration enforcement campaigns in cities far from any border, harassing communities, and refusing to communicate with local law enforcement. States and cities with Democrat leadership are being targeted - otherwise we would see major deployments in places like Texas and Florida.
✅ Limit DHS's reprogramming and transfer authority, including specifically preventing reprogramming and transferring funds for detention. This prohibits DHS from continuing to move money around to fuel ICE and Border Patrol lawlessness.
I’m calling on you to stop Trump’s weapons zing of government agencies and using them to terrorize, attack and KILL Americans. Vote NO on additional funding for ICE.
