The DHS funding bill can’t pass the Senate without Democratic votes.
Our senators can’t vote to give Trump’s secret police more money to kill innocent people, terrorize our communities, and violate our rights.
Demand that your senators vote later this week to rein in ICE and CBP death squads.

There you have it.
ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.
It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

It is increasingly clear that stripping the Department of Homeland Security down to the studs — ICE, Border Patrol, all of it — is the minimum we must do when we regain power.
But we can’t afford to wait that long to rein in these agencies.

1. Fights for Affordability AND Accountability
2. Abolish/Tear Down ICE
3. Will Tax billionaires and take on the oligarchy.
4. Won't support Israel's genocide.
5. Refuses to throw any group under the bus.
