Republicans finally agreed to fund all of DHS (including TSA) with the exception of ICE…
…until Trump had a tantrum on social media, deployed ICE to our airports, and demanded that the GOP passes his voter suppression legislation first.
Trump and Republicans are responsible for all of the airport chaos. https://punchbowl.news/article/senate/trump-thune-dhs/
Democrats have repeatedly tried to restore TSA funding while holding the line on ICE.
But the GOP refuses to pay TSA employees unless the regime’s secret police gets billions more in funding — and now Trump is making additional demands as part of his attempts to rig the midterm elections.
No matter who you’re represented by, it’s important for your elected officials to hear from you right now.
Urge Democrats to keep holding the line and refuse to give into Trump’s threats.
And tell Republicans to restore TSA funding, stop ICE’s unchecked violence, and leave our voting rights alone: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out-for-good/?source=mastodon
On January 24, federal forces with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. This was just over two weeks after the killing of Renee Good. These killings are a direct result of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities. Congress is currently negotiating funding for DHS, which includes ICE and Border Patrol. We are demanding our Members of Congress draft a new bill that, at minimum: Ensures there is not one penny more for ICE or CBP Pulls ICE and Border Patrol out of Minneapolis and the rest of our communities Prevents ICE or Border Patrol enforcement at designated ‘sensitive locations’ such as houses of worship, day cares, and hospitals Restricts ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at the time of the apprehension Ends the administration’s unlawful practice of warrantless home entry and arrests Use this tool to instantly contact your Members of Congress with a clear message: Protect our communities by reining in ICE NOW.
