Congress is negotiating a deal to fund Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that is killing people in the streets, taking our children, and trampling our rights. A temporary stopgap measure currently funds DHS through February 13th while negotiations continue. We must keep up the pressure on Congress to protect our communities.
- The Trump regime is terrorizing our communities with brutal immigration enforcement campaigns designed to test the limits of executive power and the nation’s willingness to stand up against Trump’s power grab. Masked federal agents are teargassing babies and pastors, kidnapping our neighbors and shipping them off to foreign torture prisons, and killing innocent people. This pattern of unchecked violence and abuse by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Border Patrol, and other federal law enforcement agencies must end.
- Congress has the responsibility to rein in this lawlessness and stop funneling our taxpayer dollars toward these attacks on our families and our liberties. A continuing resolution (CR) currently funds the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which includes both ICE and Border Patrol, through February 13 while Congress negotiates a new funding bill.
- All Members of Congress must cut off ICE and Border Patrol’s slush funds and at a minimum demand major reforms of these reckless agencies’ operations. Until we can take DHS down to the studs and end the mass deportation machine and brutal secret police once and for all, Congress must take action to stop Trump’s violence escalating across the country. Every day DHS continues to be funded to terrorize our communities is an all-hands-on-deck crisis.
