The DHS funding bill has passed in the House and now goes back to the Senate where they have until next Friday to negotiate actual, meaningful guard rails on ICE.
Here’s where we come in – – again. Please use @5calls script below and tell Dems not to cave!
202-224-3121 ask for your US senators office. You have to call both. So two calls.
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 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)
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.
