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 bill cannot pass without Dem votes in the Senate, so we have real leverage here. But we need to act fast, and we need to be loud.
