Our home state of Minnesota is ground zero for immigration enforcement that is becoming more secretive, violent, and unaccountable every day. We all need to blow our whistles and contact Congress now to preserve the remaining shreds of our democracy. Public pressure works and making our voices heard can help protect our neighbors and uphold basic civil rights.
Regardless of anyone’s position on immigration, we should be able to agree this: every human being deserves dignity, humane treatment, and due process under the law.
Last year, Congress increased ICE funding by $170 billion, paying for it with cuts to health care and food stamps. This week, as the Senate votes on spending bills, tell Congress to put the money back where it belongs.
TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to Stop the ICE Escalation!
We can’t wait while ICE continues to harm people in our communities. Reckless raids like those happening in Minneapolis and across the country, are tearing apart families, traumatizing children, killing community members and putting lives at risk.
Congress has the power and responsibility to stop this escalation by opposing any bill that adds to ICE’s already massive budget and by demanding an end to violent, unaccountable enforcement operations.
Signing this alert and contacting Congress sends a clear message: our communities refuse to accept abuse, secrecy, and fear as the cost of immigration enforcement. Lawmakers must act now to rein in ICE, end harmful raids, and hold the agency accountable before more people are hurt or killed.
