Tell Congress to rein in ICE NOW
On Wednesday, January 7, Renee Good, an American citizen, was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This was a direct result of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities. A broad coalition of groups across the country, including Indivisible, is demanding that Congress answer our call to get ICE Out For Good. We can't wait around while ICE and DHS continue to harm more people. Congress MUST use the tools they have to end this lawless violence, and withhold their votes from any bill that would increase ICE's already massive budget. Our coalition is specifically demanding that Members of Congress oppose any appropriations bill that includes increased funding for ICE or Border Patrol, and refuse to vote for any funding 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. Use this tool to instantly contact all your members of Congress with a clear message: Protect our communities by reining in ICE NOW. The email to your Members of Congress:
