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.
Add your name now and demand that Congress reform the DHS funding bill 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.
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.
