When calling the Senate:
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
As a member of Congress, you have a responsibility to hold ICE accountable for these abuses and demand answers – for the safety of every person that you represent. Congress MUST demand an end to these reckless immigration raids, and oppose any bill that would add to ICE's already massive budget.
I am asking for you to:
Demand an end to the ICE operation in Minneapolis and stop other large-scale escalations in communities across the US, including California.
Oppose any further funding to ICE's enforcement and detention budget.
Launch a transparent and independent investigation into the killing of Renee Nicole Good, ICE's reckless hiring spree, and its apparent failure to hold its agents accountable to the law.

Background
For months, ICE and other federal agents have escalated their operations in neighborhoods across the country, resulting in increasingly disturbing scenes and illegal conduct. Our communities have been left reeling as agents have arrested U.S. citizens, dragged children from their beds in the middle of the night in zip-ties, smashed car windows, and even driven away from an arrest scene with a toddler still in the backseat. Now, ICE agents have tragically killed without just cause a beloved community member in Minneapolis. And yet, the administration has the audacity to ask Congress for even more money to detain and deport people.
