1,432 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!

DISSOLVE ICE NOW and STOP THE TOXIC ANTI-IMMIGRANT RHETORIC and POLICIES. SPEAK OUT TO CONDEMN THAT TOXIC DIVISIVE LANGUAGE AND LIES. ..... Every day we hear more horrors about ICE. Killings, brutality, lies, racist language, catch quotas, detainees dying by execution, mistreatment, or being deprived of medical care. ICE currently is detaining more people that were in HItler's camps. And meanwhile, private corporations make a profit from each detainee. ............................................................................................................................................................................... ICE employees have records of spousal abuse and other crimes that should make them ineligible for employment by any federal agency. ICE agents violate the constitution and rule of law, with agents committing more crimes than most detainees. Remember: most immigration offesnses are civil offences; but entering a private residence without a judicial writ is a crime and detaining someone without proper procedure and cause is a violation of habeas corpus. ...................................................................................................................... If you don't care about morality, human decency, and the rule of law, then please consider that immigrants who pay taxes and do not get benefits are a net contributor to the economy. Indeed, many industries cannot survive without them.......................................................................................................................................................................The notion that immigrants and asylum seekers commit crimes at a higher rate than citizens is INCORRECT. It is a LIE that sows division and mistrust.. When do you plan to speak out to correct these lies? ..................................................................................................................................................................................It's time to STOP TOLERATING the language of hatred and division about immigrant put out by members of the Trump regime and the republican party.. It is past time to STOP FUNDING ICE MORE THAN ANY OTHER FEDERAL AGENCY AND ALLOWING IT TO OPERATE WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY................................................... ....................................................................................Please: use your platform; issue subpoenas, hold hearings, bring accountability. Do you want to be remembered like those who enabled and funded the Nazis? STOP ICE NOW
