ABOLISH ICE:
Reject Funding for State Violence
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continues to operate with unchecked violence and impunity–even as Congress moves to approve new federal funding that includes millions for this abusive agency.
The House just passed fiscal year 2026 appropriations bills that include funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE, sending the package to the U.S. Senate for final approval by January 30.
Senate action now is the last opportunity to stop more taxpayer dollars from fueling ICE’s brutality. No one is safe from ICE, we must act now to defend our freedoms.
Call Script
“I am calling to urge you to oppose continued federal funding for ICE. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has engaged in lawless violence and deadly practices, including the fatal shooting of Renée Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, and the killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis.
We cannot send more taxpayer money to fund an agency that kills people and faces no consequences. ICE must be defunded, investigated, and agents who commit crimes must be prosecuted.”

ABOLISH ICE.
Although racist deportation laws have targeted immigrant communities since 1882, it has only been in the last few decades that the scale, cruelty, and militarization of immigration enforcement has reached today’s intolerable level.
ICE itself was created in 2002 in the wake of 9/11, built on a dangerous and racist lie: that immigrants are a threat.
From the very beginning, ICE was designed to conflate migration with criminality and terrorism.
Presidents from both parties laid the groundwork for what has now become an unchecked domestic enforcement machine. Under Trump, that machinery has been supercharged into something even more dangerous: a force that targets asylum seekers, sick children, elders, activists, and families who have committed no crimes at all.
Since 2025, at least 42 people died at the hands of ICE. This includes deaths tied to lethal force and conditions inside detention facilities, such as medical neglect, unsafe conditions, abuse, and denial of care.
Among those killed by lethal force:
Renée Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026.
Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, was shot and killed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis during an enforcement operation just weeks later on January 24, 2026.
