ACLU had a know your rights one that was very informative. Well worth the time, but this newsletter....I didn't realize
In addition to ripping food and healthcare away from millions, the reconciliation bill provides BILLIONS in funding to supercharge ICE, which is essentially serving as Donald Trumps private police force. The bill would:
Increase ICEs detention budget by 13x
Fund 10,000 new ICE agents
Provide bonuses for ICE agents
Make ICE the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the federal government
We want to be really hard-nosed about our strategy here. We must oppose more money to supercharge Trump terrorizing immigrant communities and cracking down on protest. And the best way to stop this bill is to relentlessly hammer on the politically toxic Medicaid cuts and billionaire tax giveaways.
