PLEASE, send a quick email stating NO more ICE funding!

/ Tracy Abell

As you know, Renee Nicole Good was murdered by masked ICE agent, Jonathan Ross,  yesterday in Minneapolis for the crime of caring about the safety and welfare of her neighbors.  Despite the concerted efforts of this authoritarian regime to twist all facts surrounding Good’s murder, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and Bellingcat have all determined the ICE agent was in no danger of being run over. (Note: I initially included links then deleted them due to the graphic imagery, but the information is out there.)

In the midst of all this, Congress continues to consider whether to give more money to these violent, white supremacists who are living out their dreams under this administration. This from Detention Watch Network [emphasis mine]:

Coming into the New Year the House and Senate are proposing to expand immigration detention. Currently the House and Senate are proposing to expand immigration detention. There is already a record breaking 68,442 people in detention (via ICE December 22, 2025 stats). The proposal on the table includes additional funding for immigration enforcement and detention on top of the unprecedented $45 billion that ICE was given last year through the reconciliation bill. ICE and other government agencies have wreaked havoc across our country detaining individuals and locking them up in a deadly and inhumane system. Adding additional capacity will only escalate families being torn apart and subject them to horrific detention conditions.  

PLEASE take two minutes to email your Representative and two Senators via this form that will forward your message to them. One email sent to three addresses, easy-peasy! There’s no template in place so write your own short message that includes NO MORE MONEY TO ICE and send it along. Then please get 1-2 friends/family to do the same. Outrage is high and this is an excellent time to let our electeds know how we feel about the Department of Homeland Security and ICE terrorizing our neighbors and communities.

Thank you in advance. Solidarity!

Finally, I’m posting the image below from yesterday in Minneapolis (article here) even though in this instance it’s Border Patrol being cruel and violent, because I want to drive home the point that every branch of the Department of Homeland Security is actively terrorizing our neighbors. This is what the regime wants to fund even further.

    • These are incredibly dark and disorienting days, Jasper, I won’t lie. We’re emotionally and physically drained but so many people/projects are in motion and that feels hopeful. We’re still fighting. I appreciate your support very much. Thank you for being there.

  5. I watch from afar and am frightened for everyone living in your country. I came off social media (again), after the nurse was murdered by ICE. The footage of this man protesting and kicking out a tail light on an ICE vehicle that led him being branded an “urban terrorist” and would be laughable if not for the tragic outcome of his caring actions. I can no longer watch or read any news that mentions your president or his minions. I realise this will make me ignorant of current affairs in the USA, but it just seems to be a downward spiral and is too distressing. I had family members in a concentration camp in WW2, history is repeating and no-one is laughing 💔

    • Hello and thank you so much for your comment. I completely understand not being able to take in any more of the horrific news coming from the U.S. I’d like to do the same. We are exhausted here from the never-ending tsunami of cruelty and violence. And because we don’t have an opposition party, it’s up to the people to fight back so we’re stretched thin. But we’re also learning what we’re capable of doing and coming together to protect our communities, which is a very good thing. I’m very sorry the whole world is being traumatized by the actions of this regime, especially those of you with family history of unthinkable trauma. Take good care of yourself and know that many, many people here are doing all we can to push back. All those fascists are bound to lose!
