Community Action: Oppose a DHS Deal with ICE Funding
Senate Republicans are organizing a deal to restart DHS funding via two separate bills: one to fund all DHS components except for ICE’s deportation operations and a separate budget reconciliation bill to pass ICE funding and the SAVE America Act with a partisan 50-vote threshold (although using budget reconciliation to pass the SAVE America Act would almost certainly violate Senate parliamentary rules).
While it remains unclear which parts of ICE will or will not be funded through this deal, incremental minor reforms to ICE and Border Patrol are inadequate.
👉 Demand your representatives oppose any deal that maintains the status quo operations of these rogue agencies while attempting to sneak through a voter suppression bill.

Script: Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from Chicago. I’m calling to urge [NAME] to oppose a DHS funding deal that includes any funding for ICE and Border Patrol. Incremental, minimal reforms cannot rein in these reckless agencies and stop them from endangering the American public.

ICA Action: No Kings Chicago 3/28
The administration is using political pressure to force through the SAVE Act and threaten the filibuster, risking voter suppression not seen since Jim Crow. By weaponizing fear through ICE and unauthorized military actions, the current leadership seeks to rule without accountability.
This is why we must continue building the resistance. We refuse to be ruled by fear or succumb to the will of a tyrant. Every step in the "No Kings" movement is a step toward checking fascism and defending our democracy at the midterms.
Join us to declare that in America, we have no kings. We will not allow our voices to be silenced.
👉 Saturday, March 28th 1:30 PM at Butler Field in Grant Park. See you there.
