Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum

Trump is ramping up his police state to scare voters in the midterms. We must organize and mobilize against it.

Friends,

I apologize for this additional invasion of your inbox, but ICE has gone rogue, and we must stop its mayhem. Organize, mobilize, demand answers. We cannot allow this violent police force to intimidate voters three months from now. Please watch and share:

1. Please continue to protect the vulnerable in your communities. Make sure they have Red Cards / Tarjetas Rojas from the Immigrant Legal Resource Center informing them of their rights.

2. Report ICE sightings to your local Rapid Response Network (RRN) to ensure the community is alerted and those affected receive legal support. You can also submit and track anonymously and locally using the ICE Activity Tracker. (When making a report, be sure to note the specific location — intersections or addresses — the number of agents, the types of vehicles, and whether anyone is being detained. Document the activity if it can be done safely from a distance.)

3. Report all ICE activities in your area to your local newspaper, radio, and other local media. Take videos of what ICE is doing — again, doing it safely and from a distance. Share with your local media and ask them to pass it on to their affiliated national broadcast networks.

4. Contact your members of Congress and tell them your thoughts. They need to hear what you think about ICE’s deadly rampage. It’s their job to represent you!

Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

An operator will answer and route your call after you state the name of the lawmaker you wish to reach. (Before calling, you can look up your specific representatives using your ZIP code on the House Finder Service or search for your elected officials on Congress.gov.)

5. Above all, do not be intimidated by ICE and the police state Trump and his assistant Stephen Miller are creating. Its purpose is to intimidate. We have a responsibility to one another and to future generations to resist it with the same sort of courage and commitment to democracy our founders summoned just over 250 years ago.
