Ultimately we've got to prosecute agents and officials who committed crimes, and we've got to dismantle DHS entirely and start over. But as a list of demands to reduce harm now? This is surprisingly good from Dem leadership.

One big missing thing I don't see in this letter: funding levels?

For the record: I will not send another cent to Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller while the department they run is shredding the Constitution and murdering American citizens in the streets.

A two-week extension is two weeks too long. I’m voting no.

Tell Healey to stop using our tax dollars to fund ICE's work 617-725-4005

Governor Healey is the only New England governor with a statewide 287(g) collaboration agreement with ICE.

Healey is using our tax dollars to do ICE's work.

Health care cuts when we are subsidizing ICE every day?

We say no way.

Call her at 617-725-4005.

Protesters with a picture of Liam Conejo Ramos captured by ICE and a sign saying "Citizens Bank: Stop financing ICE prisons"

What does Citizens Bank financing of ICE prisons have to do with the capture of 5-year old Liam Conejo Ramos? It's that he was taken to a south Texas detention center run by CoreCivic, one of the for-profit prison companies being financed by Citizens.

Casual reminder that a bill must pass *both* the House and the Senate (and get signed by POTUS) to become law.

The DHS / ICE appropriations bill passed the House.

It still needs to pass the Senate with 60 votes.

That vote will be *NEXT WEEK*

Nice speech, but the failure to whip votes meant that the 7 Dems who voted yes provided just enough votes for the bill to pass 😠
