[1]U.S. Senator Chris Murphy
What happened in Minneapolis is unacceptable. But let’s be clear about
what’s going on there and around the US: the Trump administration has sent
thousands of DHS personnel to communities to intentionally agitate,
harass, and stoke fear and division in those communities.
This is a pattern of behavior by this administration, and these masked and
heavily armed federal agents aren’t making our neighborhoods safe.
Instead, they are ripping apart families and communities, roaming around
neighborhoods going door-to-door, and leaving serious criminals on the
loose.
The way these agents are acting makes it clear that they do not feel they
have to follow any laws and are not accountable to the public.
This is all part of a growing trend of lawlessness from those in this
administration, and Chris is leading the effort to hold them accountable,
rein them in, and push his colleagues to fight back.
Right now, the Senate is poised to consider the bill that funds DHS and
he’s working to build support to include commonsense measures and funding
restrictions that ensure:
* These door to door unlawful sweeps stop by requiring DHS to obtain a
warrant before they arrest anyone,
* These violent tactics stop by getting Border Patrol out of the
interior and back to the border, where they belong,
* A clear message is sent from Congress by ensuring that ICE receives no
additional funding to continue their aggressive tactics, and
* ICE does not get a single additional dollar to expand detention and
expand these cruel tactics.
He needs your help to make clear that people are outraged and demanding
reform. ICE should not get a single additional dollar.

DHS agents and prevent DHS from getting additional money? We need to
demonstrate broad public support for reform.

This administration wants to make us feel like the greatest threat to our
nation is our neighbors, so they can steal from us when we are distracted.
We can’t let that happen.
Team Murphy
