From Red Wine & Blue: An easy link to call our senators and tell them NO DHS FUNDING! This vote is coming up soon and one of the most effective ways we can support Minnesota and other states being occupied by ICE.
Please warn friends in MN - and Maine, take note as well:
ICE is now attempting to infiltrate Minneapolis communities:
FACES EXPOSED and dressing like Minnesotans, posing as food delivery volunteers.... substack.com/@sugarrhi/no...
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting
Thank you, Becca for your clarity and for calling out the B.S., opportunism, hypocrisy and gaslighting.

Senate switchboard (202) 224-3121 will transfer us to both senators' offices, & we can tell each of them why ICE is an unacceptable investment of our tax dollars & where we think that $$ would be better spent.

We can keep in mind that the team that leads this Commission will need to be extraordinary human beings. Perhaps identifying them might be step one of this reconciliation project - while we work on keeping our values and each other alive and well.

πΊπΈSTAND WITH MINNESOTAπΊπΈ
AT THE VERY LEAST we can INSIST our senators vote to CUT OFF FUNDS FOR ICE.
ICE's not only a reckless waste of taxpayer money, it's endangering every one of us, Trump's hired assassins cosplaying "law enforcement" then slandering the dead and gaslighting the rest of us-
Kristi's gotta go, too.
Vermonters, if you find MN's turnout today in subzero temps inspiring: leave a msg for:
Sen Sanders: 202-224-5141 &
Sen Welcb: 202-224-4242
"NO funding for ICE, reallocate our tax dollars to health care instead!"
Senate will be voting soon.
As the bill moves to the Senate, Democrats have a responsibility to draw a line. Putting actual guardrails on ICE is the bare minimum here. Allowing Trumpβs brutal secret police force to operate with essentially a blank check is unacceptable.
