Defund ICE and Build a Safe, Effective Immigration System

Defund ICE. Not reform it, not review it — defund it. Daphy Michel, a Haitian asylum-seeker, was found unresponsive at a Pittsburgh bus stop days after being released from ICE custody. The medical examiner ruled her death a homicide. The cause was hypothermia. ICE released a human being into the cold and she died. That is not a policy failure — that is cruelty with a budget line. You just approved $70 billion more for this agency. Daphy Michel is one of countless people who have been harmed, disappeared, or killed under ICE's watch. At what point does the body count become enough? Every dollar you send to ICE is a vote for more of this. Pull the funding, shut it down, and build a safe, effective, and efficient immigration system.
