As the Senate will be voting on the DHS and ICE budget this Friday, Jan 30, for people in the United States there is still time to call our senators and urge them to vote against DHS budget increases. It is our responsibility to do what we can. Even if you call after hours and leave a voicemail, the message will still be received.
Here is a link to where you can find out how to contact your state’s senators.
If you don't know what to say, here is a script you could use/modify:
"Hello (Senator Name).
My name is (your name) I am reaching out to voice my concerns regarding the Department of Homeland Security funding bill. I urge you to vote against increases to the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement budgets, and vote against the funding of DHS while ICE continues to abuse power.
The actions of ICE in the United States at this time is tyrannical and unconstitutional. I hope that you will make the decision to do what is right, and vote against funding for DHS and ICE.
Again, my name is (name) and I am a registered voter for (city, state and zip code).
Thank you for your time,"
