I strongly urge you to block Federal funding of ICE when the spending bill comes up for a vote this week. A partial government shutdown is a small price to pay for limiting the ability of these rogue "Federal agents" to destroy the lives of US Citizens. The murder of two innocent citizens by ICE agents is an atrocity. The current implementation of ICE is a consequence of the Trump administration's creation of a group of poorly trained and poorly regulated vigilantes who are not accountable to anyone. It is unacceptable for so-called "law-enforcement" personnel to hide their identities and deprive people of their rights without following the rule of law. We must draw a distinction between legitimate law-enforcement and these people. I have worked with the laboratory sections of CBP and other Federal law-enforcement agencies, and in my experience these are careful and responsible public servants. The actions of rogue ICE agents is giving legitimate agencies a bad name. We must defund ICE until strong protections are put in place to protect the rights of our citizens. Please have the courage to stand up for your country and your constituents!
