NC Communities Demand Disaster Relief Funds, Not ICE Funds

Over the last few months, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agency has torn families apart, violently abused communities, and even killed immigrants and citizens. To fund this violent program, the leaders of DHS have been illegally draining resources from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Here in North Carolina, we desperately need recovery funding as families and communities still recover from Hurricane Helene. 

Tell Your Lawmakers: Fund FEMA, Not ICE!

DHS Illegally Diverts FEMA Resource for Trump Agenda

ICE is the highest-funded law enforcement agency with a $85 billion budget, and under both Trump administrations, millions of dollars have been redirected from FEMA to ICE. Reports show the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been illegally relocating FEMA staffers to support deportation efforts. 

While climate disasters grow in numbers – from historic flooding to unprecedented wildfires – DHS has diverted resources from dealing with these disasters to rip families apart and bring violence into our communities. Taxpayer dollars should go to building up strong resilient communities, not tearing them down.
