The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION.

Absolutely not.

ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.

Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.

Grow a spine and vote no.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets and the pockets of those around him. He says he is constrained only by his “own morality.”

When we say "No Kings," this is why.

Since taking office, Trump has canceled or halted enforcement actions against 166 corporations accused of illegal conduct.

At least a third of those companies have close ties to his administration, including over 30 that have donated to Trump's ballroom.

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.
