Friend –
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives is expected to vote on a DHS
funding bill that would continue pouring billions of dollars into ICE and
Border Patrol with no meaningful limits on their conduct. This vote is
happening despite widespread public opposition to ICE’s violent behavior
and a growing record of abuse that has escalated under Trump’s
administration and intensified in recent months.
House Democrats have made their concerns unmistakably clear. After meeting
this week, Democratic leaders said overwhelmingly that this bill fails to
rein in ICE and fails to impose real accountability. Minority Leader
Hakeem Jeffries spoke out, joined by members of leadership and rank and
file lawmakers who warned that Congress cannot keep funding harm and
calling it governance.

before tomorrow’s vote. >>
Republicans are choosing to ignore the consequences of their actions. They
are pressing forward anyway, pushing a bill that keeps the machinery of
abuse running while brushing aside public outrage, documented violence,
and repeated calls for reform. This is not a misunderstanding. It is a
decision.
The provisions Republicans point to are not real safeguards. Modest
investments in body cameras and narrow restrictions do nothing to stop
raids, intimidation, or the unchecked use of force communities have had
forced upon them. Funding without enforceable limits is not compromise. It
is complicity.
[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition and tell Congress that Republicans must stop funding
abuse and start imposing real accountability for ICE and Border Patrol. >>
Tomorrow’s vote will expose who is willing to ignore the public record and
who is willing to live with the consequences. Republicans are making clear
that they are prepared to fund harm rather than confront it. That choice
deserves sustained, unmistakable public opposition.
Thank you for your advocacy during this crucial moment.
