An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Refuse All Funding for ICE

59 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

I urge you to refuse to vote for any appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security that fails to rein in ICE and Border Patrol and protect our communities. The killing of Renee Good on January 7 is a devastating example of what happens when federal immigration enforcement operates without meaningful restrictions. Her death is a result of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies that put everyday people at risk. You cannot stand by while ICE continues to harm communities across the country. As a member of Congress, you have the power to limit the administration's abuse of power by: Refusing to vote for any FY2026 appropriations bill that includes increased funding for ICE or Border Patrol, including funds for detention. Refusing to vote for any appropriations bill for DHS unless it: Strengthens restrictions on 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; Ends Border Patrol deployment to our cities and rejects its ever-expanding mandate in immigration enforcement; and Limits DHS's reprogramming and transfer authority, including specifically preventing reprogramming and transferring funds for detention. Every member of Congress must insist on real limits and accountability before any funding is approved. I hope to see you standing up for the safety, dignity, and rights of all people in our communities.
