Tell Your Representative: Not a penny more for ICE brutality

Call your Representative

On January 24, federal forces with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. This was just over two weeks after the killing of Renee Nicole Good. These killings are part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities. 

Congress is currently negotiating funding for DHS, which includes ICE and Border Patrol (CBP). Whatever appropriations bill emerges must halt ICE and CBP terror. 

Right now, we are demanding that senators withhold their votes from any bill unless it meets these minimum conditions:

  • Ensures there is not one penny more for ICE or CBP
  • Pulls ICE and Border Patrol out of Minneapolis and the rest of our communities
  • Prevents ICE or Border Patrol enforcement at designated ‘sensitive locations’ such as houses of worship, day cares, and hospitals
  • Restricts ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at the time of the apprehension
  • Ends the administration’s unlawful practice of warrantless home entry and arrests

We know that’s a little in the weeds, so we’ve simplified the message in the call script below. Please fill out the form and we’ll connect you to your Senator. Tell them they must act now to rein in ICE.

Here's Your Script:

Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State].

I’m calling to urge Representative [Name] to refuse to vote for any appropriations bill funding the Department of Homeland Security that fails to rein in ICE.

Alex Pretti and Renee Good’s killings are unacceptable. Enough is enough.

We can’t wait around while ICE harms more people. Representative [NAME] must demand ironclad restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol, including getting ICE and Border Patrol out of our communities, ending the blank check for their brutality, and creating clear guardrails to stop warrantless arrests, profiling, and enforcement at sensitive locations like schools or hospitals.
