How to Rein In ICE - NOW!
https://indivisible.org/campaign/how-rein-ice-now Indivisible National: Freeze Out Funding for ICE Indivisibles: We have an opportunity, this month, to rein in ICE's lawlessness nationwide. ICE and Border Patrol are part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is currently funded only through January 30. The new funding bill that's currently being written is our opportunity to put significant restrictions on ICE and ensure it doesn't get a single penny more to enable its brutality. This bill cannot pass without Dem votes in the Senate, so we have real leverage here. But we need to act fast, and we need to be loud. Call your Senators!! Our Demands We firmly believe that stripping the entire broken and abusive Department of Homeland “Security” down to the studs is the moderate position at this point, and that when we regain power, we need to do that as soon as possible. But we can’t wait until the next election to do something about ICE’s lawlessness. So we’ve worked with allies and experts to come up with meaningful restrictions that we can place on ICE in the upcoming appropriations bill. Right now we’re demanding that every Member of Congress (but particularly Democrats, who should be leading this fight): ❌ Reject increased funding for ICE or Border Patrol: The budgets for ICE and Border Patrol have already skyrocketed. Every Member of Congress should refuse to give another penny to these agencies as they tear apart our communities. ✅ Restrict ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to conduct dragnet arrest operations and target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at the time of the apprehension. These agencies have secretively created a mass surveillance apparatus that uses dragnet techniques to forcibly collect and track biometric data on American citizens and immigrants alike without any legislative, judicial, or public oversight. ✅ End Border Patrol deployments to our cities and reject its ever-expanding mandate in immigration enforcement. Trump’s DHS has been deploying Border Patrol in complex immigration enforcement campaigns in cities far from any border, harassing communities, and refusing to communicate with local law enforcement. ✅ Limit DHS's reprogramming and transfer authority, including specifically preventing reprogramming and transferring funds for detention. This prohibits DHS from continuing to move money around to fuel ICE and Border Patrol lawlessness. |
More from Indivisible National:
It's important to know that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is only funded through January 30. That means we have a critical window to take action to significantly restrict ICE and ensure it doesn’t get a single penny more to enable its brutality. We plan to do that putting pressure on Democrats to oppose any appropriations bill that fails to restrict ICE's ability to conduct dragnet arrest operations, end Border Patrol deployments to our cities, and stop DHS from continuing to move money around to fuel ICE and Border Patrol lawlessness.

What you can do:
- Share our Explainer to help others understand what's going on and how they can get involved.
- Plan a visit to your senator's district office. The Senate will be in recess from January 17-25. This is the perfect time for visits to your senator's district office and other local actions to make it impossible for them to ignore their constituents’ demands.
- Join Fight Back With Friends for the first call of the year on January 27 at 6:30pm ET. Using the Empower app, our powerful relational organizing tool, we’ll equip you with the knowledge to mobilize your friends, family, and neighbors who need YOUR voice to get civically engaged. We'll also deep dive into the most up-to-date info about how we can use Empower to demand Congress pass no funding without reforms and pressure them to rein in ICE.
