    Block funding for ICE and Border Patrol now!

    Petition to Congress:
    We urge you to vote against the DHS funding bill in order to stop fueling ICE and Border Patrol violence in Minneapolis and across the country.

    The White House is trying to create a publicity smokescreen around its brutal ICE occupation of Minneapolis. Trump gave border czar Tom Homan command of the MN operation and announced the withdrawal of 700 agents. But it’s all for show — ICE’s violence has not let up one bit.

    “Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota,” said Rep. Ilhan Omar. “The terror campaign must stop.”1 The only way to stop Trump’s far-right security forces is to stop funding them.

    Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are signaling support for new ICE funding if a modest set of reforms are included.2 But there’s no reforming Trump’s ICE — we must put pressure on all members of Congress to block all new funding to DHS. DHS only has a week of temporary funding remaining so another vote will happen next week.

    Sign the petition: Oppose new funding for ICE and Border Patrol!

    Trump has sent federal agents under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to violently crush protests, tear gas families, kidnap people from their jobs, and imprison thousands of people across cities including Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, New Orleans, and Minneapolis.

    No lawmaker should vote to fund these lawless invasions.

    A set of modest reforms is not going to stand in the way of federal agents killing people in the street and terrorizing communities across the country. Congress must say NO to more ICE funding.
