Call Congress: Not a Penny for ICE Without Major Reforms
have demanded reasonable, commonsense measures to hold ICE and Border Patrol agents accountable for their actions and force them to follow our laws.
Funding for DHS has expired because Republicans refused to enact these hugely popular reforms. Instead, they’ve chosen to punish the public with flight delays and other disruptions in hopes that Democrats will cave. That's why you MUST call right now to demand that your Senators and Rep. continue to reject any DHS funding bills that provide support to ICE and CBP unless and until these vigiliante forces are reined in and held accountable for their ever-growing list of crimes.
Call your Senators and House Rep. now and let me know if you were able to get through.
1. Find your members of Congress's phone numbers. You can find your Senators' phone numbers here and you can find your Representative's number here.
2. Dial the number for their Washington DC office (it should start with 202), if you can't get through, try a different office. When someone answers or if you're instructed to leave a voicemail, you can use your own words or the relevant version of the script below, depending on whether they're a Democrat or Republican and a Senator or a House Representative.
3. Hang up and repeat for your other two members of Congress.
4. Fill out the form to let me know if you were able to get through and what the staffpeople said.
"Hi, my name is YOUR NAME. I'm a constituent from town/city, zipcode______ and I'm calling to ask the Senator/Representative to refuse to vote for any appropriations bills that provide funding for DHS unles they provide ironclad reforms to rein in ICE and Border Patrol including removing ICE and Border Patrol from our communities, forcing the agents to show their faces - no more masks! and wear bodycams that are recording the entire time they're on duty, ending the blank check for their brutality by holding them accountable for their crimes, and creating clear guardrails to stop warrantless arrests, racial profiling, and enforcement at sensitive locations like schools or hospitals.
I have been horrified to watch what ICE and Border Patrol are doing in our cities. Terrorizing citizens, using toddlers as bait, murdering innocenet American citizens, detaining innocent people, and more. It has to stop and I am calling to ask you to do everything in your power to force these overdue reforms.
Thank you for listening."
