Take Action to Stop ICE!

Call and message your members of Congress telling them to oppose any effort to give ICE and Border Patrol more funding. You call also use the form at www.immigrantjustice.org to reach your Congressional representatives.

Now is the time to oppose any new contracts for massive new detention centers, including for families with children, and stop funneling billions of dollars to private prison contractors. Congress must stop the militarized operations by masked agents targeting longtime residents, children, and U.S. citizens and oppose any legislation that would further fuel a system of mass incarceration that is causing irreversible harm to our country.

We need our elected leaders to reject the deadly expansion and demand accountability by refusing to give ICE or Border Patrol more money to detain and harm our community members, and fight to redirect the hundreds of billions provided in last year’s reconciliation bill away from these agencies.

This isn’t about party loyalty.
It’s about choosing country — together.
