Late last night, Republicans caved and let the Senate pass a bill that funds all of DHS except ICE and Border Patrol (as Democrats long demanded). This is what’s possible when Democrats unify and refuse to bend to the regime's demands. We are now watching the House to see if this gets done.

UPDATE: We won.

Senate Republicans folded and approved DHS funding excluding additional ICE and CBP funding.

Our pressure just helped deny ICE and CBP more than $17 billion.

@democrats.senate.gov held the line! Now onto the House…

Trump Pushes False Narrative in Ordering ICE Agents to “Help” TSA at US Airports Some GOP lawmakers have admitted that the decision to deploy ICE agents to airports is politically motivated.

Trump has ordered ICE agents to be deployed to over a dozen airports across the United States, purportedly to help handle TSA duties amid a continued DHS shutdown.

No one is safe when ICE is present – whether in airports, on the streets or in one of the agency’s more than 200 abuse-ridden detention facilities. We demand members of Congress act now to cut ICE funding, get ICE out of airports & communities nationwide, & shut down ICE detention centers for good!

Building an unprecedented, 21st-century surveillance apparatus has been central to DHS’ mission since Congress created the agency after the 9/11 attacks — when it promptly began surveilling Muslim communities across the country.

Let's review a brief history of the domestic surveillance empire.

Confining people in large-scale, makeshift detention warehouses will exponentially increase the likelihood for abuse and death in ICE custody, as ICE cuts people off from their loved ones and support networks, and subjects them to conditions that are meant for storing products, never people.

The threat of detention warehouses harkens back to one of our most shameful periods as a nation, when warehouses were used for Japanese American incarceration in the 1940s, which caused immense suffering and generational trauma. It was wrong then and it is wrong now.
