Hi, this is your congressman, ███████████████ at ████████████. This isn't a scam call. I'm holding a telephone. Town hall right now to update you on what I'm working on in Congress. I want to hear from you, so just stay on the line and I'll get you connected. As you wait. Know that you Can Press ██████ at any time if you'd like to ask a question. The call will begin momentarily. Please hold while we connect you to your Access Live event. This Access Live event is currently in progress. Please note that this call may be monitored, recorded or rebroadcast. To resist the ice occupation. And what I saw there was terrifying. It is a full blown occupation. It reminds me of a rock. And what's going on in ████ concentration camps? I'm wondering. I'm very happy to hear you say that. You don't think that DHS deserves any more funding. I am very happy to hear that. But I'm also seeing that ICE is infiltrating our city streets. They're aiming at blue cities, and they have incorporated law enforcement into doing their dirty work. Their law enforcement and their National Guard have been activated. And they're being increasingly aggressive against protesters, in addition to racially profiling our neighbors. So what are you doing to make sure that that does not happen in ██████████? Thank you. Thanks for your service. Thanks for sharing that story. If you're still there. How long were you in ███████████? I was there for a little over a week. Wow. Thank you. Thanks for going. Thanks for being up there in the cold. Thanks for standing up for what's right and for calling into this call. So talk a little about what we're doing. First of all, I've said. I shouldn't get another dime from Congress. In fact, this is an agency right now. I don't think it can be fixed. I have voted against every single budget for dhs. It's been, I think, a month now, or over a month since I've been helping lead the effort to impeach Secretary ████. We have held a vigil in ██████████. We have tried to get legislation passed. We are using every single lever we have. Again from public pressure. To inside legislation, to voting on funding. I think it's important to note why we're doing this. Ten years ago, ICE's budget was $6 billion. it is now eighty five billion dollars thanks to the republican budget and what they put in the one big beautiful bill they've used this funding to double the number of armed masked unidentified often untrained ice
