Secret police.

I'm sorry if this sounds radical, but I don't think Dems should be voting to give this deeply unpopular, lawless, fascistic secret police force billions more dollars.

Congress released a DHS funding bill that doesn’t rein in ICE nor significantly reduce its funding.

Contact your reps to demand they vote no on any funding bill allowing ICE to continue its abuses:
