Congress must reject the year-long continuing resolution (CR) because it hurts our communities and gives the Trump administration too much power over federal funding. Here’s why:

• More Money for ICE, More Deportations – This CR increases ICE’s budget by $500 million, bringing it to a staggering $10 billion, which could lead to more deportations and family separations.
• Cuts to Essential Programs – While ICE receives a massive funding boost, programs supporting veterans, public schools, and child welfare face severe cuts.
• No Oversight on Government Spending – The CR removes key protections that ensure federal funds are used fairly and responsibly, allowing spending with little to no accountability.
• Harms the Most Vulnerable – Without oversight, billionaires and private prison companies could benefit while working families and communities suffer.
