Masked federal agents are terrorizing our communities. They’re teargassing babies, kidnapping our neighbors, shooting clergy in the face with chemical projectiles, and killing innocent people.

But right now we have an opportunity to rein in ICE at the federal level.

ICE and Border Patrol are part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is currently funded only through January 30. The new funding bill that’s currently being written is our opportunity to put significant restrictions on ICE and ensure it doesn’t get a single penny more to enable its brutality. 

This is a winnable fight, if we can convince Congressional Democrats to hold firm. So we need to act fast, and we need to be loud.  

Congressional Call-in DayToday, we’re joining the ACLU, MoveOn, and Public Citizen in driving as many calls as we can to Capitol Hill. We want congressional phonelines ringing off the hook with constituents demanding the DHS funding bill include restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol. Ready to take action?

Our Demands 

We firmly believe that stripping the entire broken and abusive Department of Homeland “Security” down to the studs is the moderate position at this point, and that when we regain power, we need to do that as soon as possible.

But we can’t wait until the next election to do something about ICE’s lawlessness. So we’ve worked with allies and experts to come up with meaningful restrictions that we can place on ICE in the upcoming appropriations bill. 

Right now we’re demanding that every Member of Congress (but particularly Democrats, who should be leading this fight):

❌ Reject increased funding for ICE or Border Patrol: The budgets for ICE and Border Patrol have already skyrocketed. Every Member of Congress should refuse to give another penny to these agencies as they tear apart our communities.
