.@ICEgov is secretly maneuvering right now to make it even easier for them to keep people in cages and launch mass raids in immigrant communities, so we wanted to break it down for you in a THREAD. 1/

As part of the fight to #DefundHate, Congress must end ICE’s “transfer and reprogramming authority.” What that means is that we want Congress to tell ICE they can’t steal money from other agencies (like the $10 mil they stole from FEMA last year). 2/ npr.org/2018/09/12/647…

Now, ICE is using this authority *again* to spend more money than Congress says they can. And they’re doing it to expand their abuses, such as conducting raids like the one that separated families in Mississippi or caging people indefinitely in concentration camps. 3/

Members of Congress MUST stand up to ICE. And they've got to do it quickly on this particular fight. You can take action right now by:

And remember, this is all leading up to the funding fight in September. You should be planning your event right now for 9/9-9/13 to demand your MoCs stand up to Trump's racist immigration agenda. 5/5
