There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.

DHS funding runs out today. That means we have real leverage in this fight since a funding bill can’t pass without Democratic votes. Call your Members of Congress and demand they reject any bill that doesn’t stop ICE and CBP terror.

Everyone should call their local election officials and ask them what they're doing to prepare. Our governors should deploy the Guard to protect polling places from voting machine and ballot seizures.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) to ABC about Trump: "I think he intends to try to subvert the elections. He will do everything he can to suppress the vote. If he loses the vote -- I think the Republicans now expect they will get a drubbing in the midterms -- he will take action to overturn the result"

The Trump administration has fused a social-media worldview with authoritarian tendencies—and in this “clicktatorship,” Donald Moynihan argues, “judgment and decision making are hyper-responsive to what’s happening on the far-right internet.” theatln.tc/YNTAAR0n

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

10 Simple Questions for Congress to Ask Immigration Officials

- Overstaying a visa is not a crime (that's nearly 50% of all undocumented migrants)

- Unlawful entry (18 usc 1325) is only a misdemeanor. For vast majority of those, the statute of limitations expired long ago

Next time Kaitlyn Collins gets to question Trump, she should ask, "How many children have you raped?" and then smile.
