Not one more cent until ICE and DHS are reigned in!

On January 7th, 2026, ICE agents in Minneapolis murdered mother of three Renee Good. The Twin Cities showed their rage by taking to the streets. Just two weeks later, Trump’s roving mob of immigration agents continued their terror with impunity by gunning down Veterans Affairs nurse Alex Pretti.

It is time to put an end to the chaos ICE has brought upon Minneapolis and the rest of America. It is far past time to demand accountability.

On January 30th, Congress must vote to approve or reject a new budget appropriations bill, including $64B in funding for the Department of Homeland Security — $10B of which is specifically reserved for ICE. Fortunately, Democratic senators have said enough is enough and will not support the proposed budget if funding for DHS is included. They’ve listed a host of demands that must be made in order to gain their votes:

An independent federal–state investigation into ICE killings and enforcement tactics
A ban on ICE agents wearing face masks
A ban on roving ICE patrols
An end to so-called “administrative warrants” that attempt to bypass judges and violate the Fourth Amendment
An end to arrest quotas that incentivize abuse

In normal times, these would be obvious constraints on the power of any law enforcement, but in Trump’s America they won’t be granted without a fight.

Congress has a rare opportunity — and a moral obligation — to put an end to the unchecked power and violent impunity of ICE, to stop billions of taxpayer dollars from being turned against the taxpayers themselves, and to block funding for an agency that has now killed multiple people and not just in Minneapolis.

With January 30th just days away, we must meet this moment of urgency and tell Congress that not one more cent should be sent to ICE or DHS until accountability once again reigns.

Sign the petition and demand that Congress refuse to fund DHS and ICE until ICE reforms have been made.

Take action now!

Dear Senator,

I am writing as your constituent to urge you to refuse approval of any federal budget appropriations bill that includes funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) without binding accountability reforms.

In January, the killing of Renée Good in Minneapolis by ICE agents was followed just weeks later by the killing of Veterans Affairs nurse Alex Pretti. These deaths have shaken public trust and raised serious concerns about ICE’s enforcement tactics, lack of oversight, and culture of impunity. No federal agency entrusted with the power to detain and use force should operate without meaningful constraints, transparency, and accountability.

As you know, Congress must act by January 30 to pass a budget appropriations bill. The current proposal includes $64 billion for DHS, including $10 billion for ICE. Funding an agency with such sweeping authority — especially in the wake of repeated civilian deaths — without enforceable safeguards is unacceptable.

I urge you to support withholding DHS and ICE funding unless the following reforms are enacted:

An independent federal–state investigation into ICE killings and enforcement tactics
A ban on ICE agents wearing face masks
A ban on roving ICE patrols
An end to so-called “administrative warrants” that bypass judicial review and violate Fourth Amendment protections
An end to arrest quotas that incentivize abuse

These are not radical demands. They are basic safeguards that should apply to any law enforcement agency operating in a democratic society. Public safety is built through accountability, legitimacy, and trust — not through fear, unchecked power, or impunity.

I respectfully urge you to stand with your constituents and with the Constitution by refusing to fund DHS and ICE unless these reforms are put in place. Our democracy, our civil liberties, and our communities depend on it.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
