Communities across the country have lived in terror as federal immigration enforcement agents have detained, disappeared, injured, and killed civilians. Yet Congress is considering a fast-track legislative process to allocate billions of additional dollars to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

We need you to stand with the League to demand that Congress reject any additional funding for ICE and CBP.

Tell Congress That Federal Immigration Enforcement Has Gone Too Far | League of Women Voters

As your constituent, I demand that you exercise your constitutional authority and investigate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) use-of-force policies, training, rules of engagement, supervision, and post-incident review practices, as well as incidents themselves.

Dear Senator:

If it’s okay for the President of the United States, it should be okay for Maria at your local grocer and Ash who runs a local restaurant.

What is “it”? Voting by mail.

"Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it mail-in cheating, and we got to do something about it all," the President said Monday.

President Trump cast his ballot in the Tuesday Florida special election by mail.

The White House claim that “universal mail-in voting should not be allowed because it’s highly susceptible to fraud” is unsupported by any research, even from conservative organizations like the Heritage Foundation.

The House-passed SAVE Act 2.0 would make it harder for eligible voters to register and to cast a ballot. The additions that President Trump has demanded the Senate implement to the SAVE Act would make it even harder to vote and almost impossible to vote by mail. Managing elections is the Constitutional right of the states, not the federal government.

Vote No on the SAVE Act. Persuade your colleagues to vote no. Be loud and speak out in public forums: press conferences, social media, the Senate floor. Remind your colleagues that most Americans support expanded early voting and voting by mail. Don’t pass a bill that will result in a long and costly (to taxpayers) court fight that ultimately cannot win.

Tell your Senators to oppose the SAVE Act | League of Women Voters

It is already illegal for noncitizens to register and vote in federal or state elections. The bill’s requirement of a document to prove American citizenship to register to vote in federal elections is unnecessary ,even though voters in every state are already required to affirm or verify their citizenship status when registering, and creates a barrier to voting.
