If ICE keeps sweeping up American citizens, ripping families apart, and detaining people WITHOUT due process, the problem is STRUCTURAL — not a few bad apples.
Call your Senators NOW at 202-224-3121.
Tell them to VOTE NO on the $64B+ DHS bill!
No more money for ICE.

There will be many children named Renee and Alex this year. Those of us that don't have children might have fur babies they choose to adopt and name Renee and/or Alex.
