While ICE is killing innocent people, teargassing babies and pastors, and kidnapping our neighbors to ship them off to foreign torture prisons, seven House Democrats just voted with the GOP to give the regime’s secret police even more funding.

The political ground is shifting on ICE. Your own Dem rep or senator may not have caught up yet. Now - before the 1/30 funding deadline - is the time to push.

Chuck Schumer has the power – and the moral obligation – to lead his caucus in meaningfully imposing limits on ICE’s violent and illegal practices as a condition of providing this money now.

The background

* Republicans passed a budget blueprint last year to massively increase ICE spendingβ€”using special rules and a simple majority.

* But that money can’t be spent without appropriations bills passing the Senate this month.

* Those bills require Democratic votes, giving Senate Democrats real leverage.

* ICE can only spend what Congress explicitly approves.

* By blocking increases or attaching conditions, Democrats can slow raids, limit detention, and curb abusesβ€”without abolishing ICE.

Call him (212) 486-4430

Suggested script

Hi, my name is [Your Name]. I’m a constituent from [Your City, ZIP]. I’m calling to insist Senator Schumer lead his caucus to refuse to vote for any appropriations bill for DHS that fails to rein in ICE. Democrats must use their power of the purse, now when they have leverage.

The killing of Renee Good wasn’t an accidentβ€”it’s a system failure. No DHS appropriations without real limits on ICE. HR trainings and body cams won’t cut it. End dragnet raids. Stop the violence. Don’t add a penny to ICE’s bloated budget. Babies are being gassed by government thugs. What will it take to get real action from our elected Democrats?

Our Wins Of The Week This week marked the end of the House tenure of Rep.

From Republicans breaking with Trump to a red state abortion ban going down, this week had some uplifting wins amid the heartbreaking headlines. If you need a reminder of the good still happening out there, this one’s for you.

While I’m glad Commissioner Tisch let Ricky Patel (Special Agent in Charge at HSI) know that she’s not happy with their raids, I’m disturbed by footage of NYPD officers clearing the way for ICE vehicles. It’s a violation of our sanctuary city law to facilitate deportations.
