Tell Congress: Not Another Dollar for ICE or Border Patrol
Right now, Congress is considering an additional $30 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol through the regular fiscal year funding process. We cannot let this happen.
ICE and Border Patrol are killing with impunity, locking up community members at record rates, and deaths in detention are reaching catastrophic levels. The Trump administration is expanding immigrant prison camps to warehouse-scale detention sites. Masked agents continue to invade and harm our communities. ICE's violent rampage continues as we've seen with the fatal shootings of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, Renée Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Johan Sebastian Guerrero, and too many other beloved community members.
More funding with no accountability, no transparency, and no restrictions means more of the same violence.
Your actions have an important impact. Earlier this year, Congress passed a historic funding bill that, for the first time, cut annual funding for ICE and Border Patrol. This was a landmark victory reached after decades of community advocacy and months of mobilizing in the wake of the fatal shootings and rising violence at the hands of federal agents.
But the fight over federal funding continues. Just last month, leaders in Congress used a partisan fast-track budget measure to shell out $70 billion for ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to spend without any restrictions through the end of the Trump administration. This is on top of the around $100 billion these agencies are sitting on from last year’s blank check, which gutted healthcare and food assistance to supersize the deportation and detention machine.
The FY27 appropriations cycle that Congress is considering right now presents a critical opportunity for Congress to again cut annual funding for ICE and Border Patrol, end impunity for rampant abuses and expanding detention, and redirect funds away from these agencies to invest in communities.
Tell your Senators and Representatives: reject any new funding for ICE and Border Patrol through the annual appropriations process, and demand real accountability for these agencies. Not one more dollar.

Here are some other ways you can help:
📞 CALL your members of Congress to really make sure they hear us! Call the capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask for your Senators or Representatives. When you're connected to their office, you can use this call script:
"Hello, my name is [your name], and as a constituent I urge [Senator or Representative name] to reject any new funding for ICE and Border Patrol in the fiscal year 2027 annual appropriations bill and demand real accountability for these agencies. Our communities deserve investment in health, education, and programs that benefit everyone’s well-being, and giving more money to ICE and CBP while they are perpetrating violence with impunity is unconscionable right now."
