Demand Congress stop funding ICE's bloodshed! 

​

ICE and Border Patrol are part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is currently funded through February 13th.  

 

The new funding bill that's currently being negotiated is our opportunity to put significant restrictions on ICE and ensure it doesn't get a single penny more to enable its brutality.

​​​​

CALL CONGRESS NOW:

​SCRIPT​

 

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].

​

I’m calling to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to support significant changes to ICE and Border Patrol in the DHS funding bill. These lawless agencies are recklessly endangering the American public and must be reined in.

 

The necessary changes I would like to see enacted include…

​

[Choose any number of the following]:

• A zeroing out of ICE’s appropriations funding, (and)

• A repeal of H.R. 1's $170 billion slush fund for ICE and Border Patrol, (and)

• A requirement that agents remove their masks and show identification, (and)

• A ban on arrests without judicial warrants, (and)

• A ban on roving patrols, racial profiling, and arrest quotas, (and)

• A ban on agents’ access to polling locations, schools, day cares, medical facilities, and other vulnerable locations, (and)

• A return of Border Patrol officers to the border, (and)

• Independent inspectors and oversight of all detention facilities to ensure humane treatment of detainees, (and)

• A ban on the detention and deportation of children, (and)

• A ban on the use of surveillance technology to track people, (and)

• An end to the use of deadly force and the detention and deportation of U.S. citizens and lawfully present immigrants.

 

I expect Congress to do their job to enforce these laws and demand the investigation and prosecution of agents who break them.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
