New rules could void your vote. Vote as early as possible to be sure your vote is counted.
Last minute mailing could void your vote. New Postal Service operations could delay your postmark. Your voice could be silenced on a technicality. Make a plan:
✅ Mail 7+ days early
✅ Request a hand-stamp postmark at the counter
✅ Use an official drop box

This is horrendous. A blatant call for violence. @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov Congress must act boldly and end ICE now.

Congress is considering a bill that would limit ICE’s authority to deputize state and local law enforcement for immigration enforcement.
Tell Congress to vote yes on this bill and end the 287(g) program once and for all.
Tell Congress to vote yes on this bill and end the 287(g) program once and for all.
End ICE's Dangerous 287(g) Program
ICE's 287(g) program turns local police into a weapon for ICE, meaning more racial profiling, more fear in our communities, and more people in immigrant detention. Tell Congress to end it now.
