Enough is Enough
We Need ICE Out for Good
On January 23, while over 75,000 protesters marched in Minneapolis through −10 °F temperatures to defend their city against ICE, Americans across the country gathered in solidarity at hundreds of nonviolent events in their own communities to echo the demands in Minnesota: it is time to get ICE Out for Good.
Only one day after our mass mobilization, federal forces with the Department of Homeland Security killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis — just over two weeks after the killing of Renee Nicole Good.
Alex Pretti should be alive.
Renee Nicole Good should be alive.
Minneapolis—and all our communities—must be free from the violence of DHS.
ICE and Border Patrol are storming our streets and harassing and detaining people without due process based on the color of their skin, their language or accent, or where they live. Masked federal agents are teargassing babies and pastors, seizing our neighbors and shipping them off to foreign torture prisons, and killing innocent people. Thirty-two people reportedly died in ICE custody last year — and the violence will only continue to escalate if we don’t show up together and stand up to ICE and Border Patrol.
This week, senators will vote on a DHS funding bill that gives ICE more resources to brutalize our neighbors. Their choice is simple: stand with our communities to say ENOUGH is ENOUGH, ICE OUT—or continue enabling this terror. We must demand our senators — especially our Democratic senators — refuse to give ICE one more penny of taxpayer money or vote for any funding bill that doesn’t get ICE and Border Patrol out of our cities.
PreparE for ICE in Your Neighborhood
Join our call Eyes on Ice: Document and Record
Monday, January 26 at 8PM EST.
Exercising our Constitutional right to document and record ICE and other federal agents is more important than ever. This call will give you the tools to exercise your rights in a moment when federal agents are terrorizing our communities and using excessive force.
Demand Congress rein in ICE
Senators are voting this week on whether to give ICE and Border Patrol even more funding. This cannot be business as usual. The current Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding proposal does nothing to rein in these agencies and must be rejected.
Tell Corporations: Get Ice Out
Corporations including Target, Hilton, Enterprise, Home Depot, and Delta all have a role to play in standing up to ICE. Demand that they take action now to get ICE out of our communities.
Tell Your Senators to Reject More Money for ICE and Border Patrol
Senators will vote this week on whether ICE and Border patrol should get new funding. This cannot be business as usual. They must refuse to send another penny to the agency that’s trampling our rights, taking our children, and conducting violence in our streets. Allowing the annual funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to move forward is unacceptable. Every Member of Congress should publicly oppose the DHS appropriations bill unless it:
Strengthens restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to conduct dragnet arrest operations and target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at the time of the apprehension;
Ends Border Patrol deployment to our cities and rejects its ever-expanding mandate in immigration enforcement; and
Limits DHS's reprogramming and transfer authority, including specifically preventing reprogramming and transferring funds for detention.
The current DHS funding is a failure to rein in ICE and Border Patrol and must be rejected.
Demand Congress rein in ICE
Tell Corporations: Get Ice Out
Demand corporations stand with us and stand up to ICE
Join organizers in Minnesota and national partners to pressure corporations including Target, Hilton, Enterprise, Home Depot, and Delta to show up for our communities and stand up to ICE.
Target and Delta are two of the biggest corporate citizens of Minnesota, but have said nothing as ICE has surged in the state and killed two citizens. ICE is using Hilton and Enterprise accommodations and rental vehicles to operate. And Home Depot has stood by while ICE conducts violent raids on their property. Whether they’re actively cooperating or remaining silent, each of these corporations are standing by while ICE terrorizes the communities where they operate.
Call or email each corporation to demand they take action to get ICE out of our communities NOW.
Our demands include:
Publicly call for an immediate end to the ICE “surge” into MN and for ICE to leave the state;
The officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti must be held legally accountable. Demand a legitimate investigation with state involvement.
Exercise their 4th Amendment rights and publicly post signage denying entrance to on-duty immigration agents who do not have signed judicial warrants as required by law, as well train staff on how to respond when immigration agents arrive at stores and worksites.
Publicly call for Congress to freeze funding for ICE.
priority Focus: Target
On January 8th, Customs and Border Protection agents attacked and detained two US citizens who were employees at the Richfield, MN Target. Minnesota sports teams play in stadiums and jerseys with Target’s logo on them. Target is headquartered in Minneapolis and is Minnesota’s fourth largest employer. They should be standing with the people of Minnesota and speaking out against ICE’s invasion of the state.
Other companies we demand take action
