This week, Republicans in Congress are RACING to sneak through another $75 BILLION for ICE. And we're going all in to stop them.
We all saw the violence and terror ICE inflicted on our communities after Congress handed it $75 billion just last year, slashing our health care and food assistance to pay for it.
This year, after Democrats said they would not fund ICE without key reforms, Republicans REFUSED to do anything to rein the violent agency in. And now they're trying to greenlight another massive check of OUR taxpayer dollars using the reconciliation process, which will allow them to do it without ANY Democratic support.
Let's be clear: we will not stand by and allow Congress to give one more PENNY to ICE to unleash even more violence, corruption, and abuse on our communities.
Add your name right now to tell Congress: NOT another PENNY for ICE!
It's not hard to imagine what sending yet another massive windfall to ICE will mean. People murdered in the streets. Tens of thousands held in squalid detention centers. Families and communities ripped apart.
But despite plummeting public support for ICE, Republicans still want to give it another $75 billion. And it's clear who will benefit: Trump's deportation oligarchs. Because behind every ICE raid, a handful of corporations are cashing in.
Last year, ICE spent $1.2 billion of our taxpayer dollars on private prison contractors, and another $500 million on private transportation including air charter services – all to supercharge Trump's deportation machine.
GEO Group and CoreCivic, the two biggest private prison contractors, funneled nearly $4.3 million into Trump and GOP campaigns last election cycle – betting that more deportations will bring more profit. And their investment pays off every time ICE expands its reach: deportation oligarchs have seen an obscene 11,050% return on their political investments.
ENOUGH. We will not allow Congress to rip billions MORE away from basic needs like food and health care – just to feed ICE to continue terrorizing our communities while enriching Trump's cronies. Which is why we're mobilizing the grassroots and doubling down on our massive push to expose the oligarchs behind Trump's terror.
Will you raise your voice right now and demand Congress block this $75 billion ICE handout? The vote will be razor-thin so every message counts.
When we organize, we win,
Our Revolution
