Require Oversight before Expanding ICE

I urge you to vote against the proposed ICE expansion and to advocate for stronger oversight, transparency, and accountability within our federal enforcement agencies. The expansion, coupled with the erosion of oversight mechanisms, raises serious concerns about civil liberties, due process, and the potential politicization of federal law enforcement. This expansion is dangerous without proper oversight. ICE risks following U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) corruption path—CBP has one of the highest per-capita corruption rates among federal agencies, with 5-10% of staff involved in drug smuggling, human trafficking, and cartel collusion. Cartels routinely threaten agents' families to force cooperation, yet no formal protections exist. Expanding ICE without addressing these systemic weaknesses creates a minimally accountable enforcement body that could be weaponized politically. I urge you to: - Oppose ICE expansion until robust oversight is established - Demand independent corruption investigations - Support legislation protecting agents' families from coercion - Ensure constitutional accountability for all enforcement agencies This is about national integrity and democratic accountability. Please stand for transparency and the rule of law.
