32] – The Indivisible Project wants you to join the virtual ICE OUT for Good Indivisible Phone Bank on Tues., Feb. 3 from 3 to 5 PM ET. Masked federal agents are terrorizing our communities. They’re teargassing babies, kidnapping our neighbors, shooting clergy in the face with chemical projectiles, and killing innocent people. But right now, there is an opportunity to rein in ICE at the federal level. ICE and Border Patrol are part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). DHS funding expires at midnight on Friday, Jan. 30. Congress is currently negotiating how to fund DHS moving forward. Democrats met the first demand that DHS cannot be funded business as usual. Call voters in key states and encourage them to call their Republican senators to demand that they rein in ICE’s terror tactics.
