We cannot look away from Trump’s militarized takeover of Minneapolis, friend.

This weekend, Alex Pretti was shot and killed by Customs and Border Patrol agents. This tragedy comes on the heels of another public, preventable killing of Renee Good by ICE agents.

We have the chance to curb this violence but we must take action now: This Friday, the Senate will vote on a funding bill that includes a troubling $10 billion for ICE. The violence of federal agents has gone unchecked for too long and this excessive fundraising would supercharge their often deadly efforts. 

Please, friend, send an urgent message to your senators right now and tell them NO MORE FUNDING FOR ICE! >>

This violence against civilians is not isolated and it is even predictable. Trump’s deployment of the federal agents across the country has been wreaking havoc on immigrant communities, rolling out armed intimidation against his political opposition, and promising impunity from lawless actions. The dangerous combination of armed extremists and zero consequences has made gun violence nothing less than inevitable. 

The United States is already an outlier when it comes to civilians harmed in the name of enforcement – but the new era of ICE is more dangerous than ever before. Trump’s Department of Homeland Security is intentionally recruiting far-right, racist, Second Amendment extremists and teaching them the gun lobby’s “shoot-first” tactics. 

The Trump administration’s violent anti-immigration campaign has wrought havoc since its inception: There have been 19 incidents in which immigration agents opened fire and another 36 incidents in which agents held bystanders or protesters at gunpoint.

Our lawmakers owe it to us to stop funding violent attacks on our communities. We only have until Friday to make our voices heard and we’re counting on our dedicated supporters to speak out NOW: Send an urgent message to senators and tell them to vote NO on funding more ICE violence. >>

Thank you for taking action, friend.
