Hi John,

This is the moment to do everything we can to stop ICE terror in our communities. We’re locked in on a critical opportunity that could come as early as next week to shut down funding for ICE and its dangerous surveillance tech.

Can you take action now to demand your lawmakers defund ICE?

STOP ICE SURVEILLANCE

Right now, ICE is operating with a massive $170 billion budget,¹ pouring much of that into dangerous tech that helps them hunt our neighbors with terrifying precision, including phone surveillance dragnets, AI-powered drones, face scanning apps, license plate and biometric databases, and more.²

Congress has a clear path to stop ICE surveillance in its tracks and reject the executions of Renee Good, Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, and Keith Porter, as well as the countless others killed by ICE since its inception. Federal lawmakers need to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) until its ICE agency is abolished.

If we can choke off the funding for this invasive, murderous, and dehumanizing agency, we give our communities critical breathing room to resist deportations and fight to stop ICE for good.

Please take action today and share this with your trusted people:

TAKE ACTION

In solidarity,

Alex at Fight for the Future
