ACTION ALERT:Tell Congress That Federal Immigration Enforcement Has Gone Too Far
For months, communities across the country, in Minnesota and beyond, have lived in terror as federal immigration enforcement agents have patrolled, surveilled, detained, disappeared, injured, and killed civilians, as well as denied people’s constitutional rights by attacking and arresting peaceful protestors. Yet Congress — our elected officials — has played a pivotal role in funding and enabling this government-manufactured crisis, and they must act to stop these attacks.
We need you to stand with the League to demand that:
- Senators reject additional funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or immigration detention, and impose additional agency guardrails and accountability measures;
- Congress investigates ICE, CBP, and the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS's) use of force; and
- Congress takes steps to protect civilians' constitutional rights to peacefully protest and assemble without their lives being threatened or taken.
It is time for all of us to stand up, speak out, and demand an end to these heinous actions. No agency or elected official is above the law. Democracy cannot endure when its government uses violence to silence dissent and evade accountability.
