Get your congresspeople to restrict ICE in the Jan 31 DHS refunding. From Indivisible.
I'm crazy busy today, so just links. I may revisit this and flesh out key points.

Freeze out funding for ICE
Masked federal agents are terrorizing our communities. They're teargassing babies, kidnapping our neighbors, shooting clergy in the face with chemical projectiles, and killing innocent people.
But right now we have an opportunity to rein in ICE at the federal level.
ICE and Border Patrol are part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is currently funded only through January 30. The new funding bill that’s currently being written is our opportunity to put significant restrictions on ICE and ensure it doesn’t get a single penny more to enable its brutality.
This is a winnable fight, if we can convince Congressional Democrats to hold firm. So we need to act fast, and we need to be loud.
