Tell Congress: No Funding for More ICE Detention Beds

Tell Congress: No More Tax Dollars for ICE & CBP. We Demand Accountability.

Urgent: Members of Congress are considering more funding for ICE & CBP as they negotiate the government spending bill before the January 30th deadline.

Congress cannot give ICE and CBP another dollar while they continue to visit terror on our communities. We demand real limits, strict accountability, and an end to this violence.

I am writing as your constituent to urge you to oppose additional funding for ICE and CBP and to ensure no funding continues without meaningful guardrails and accountability in the FY2026 DHS Appropriations Bill. 
 
Specifically, I urge you to:

- Refuse to vote for any FY2026 appropriations bill that includes increased funding for ICE or Border Patrol, including additional funds for detention. The existing system allowed 32 people to die in custody in 2025, the deadliest year ever, while thousands of others suffer physical and sexual abuse, medical neglect, and degrading conditions. ICE quietly announced that already 4 people died in their custody during the first week of January 2026.
- Refuse to vote for any appropriations bill for DHS beyond January 30 unless it:
   - Strengthens restrictions on 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;
   - Ends Border Patrol deployment to our cities and rejects its ever-expanding mandate in immigration enforcement; and
   - Limits DHS's reprogramming and transfer authority, including specifically preventing reprogramming and transferring funds for detention.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue. 
 
Sincerely,
