“One of the most important things we can do right now is pick up the phone or send an email and make sure our members of Congress understand how much and how clearly we see what ICE and [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] are doing in our communities, and how deeply we want our members of Congress to take action, to rein them in and to withhold funds,” Altman added.
It’s a staffer’s job to make a record of constituents’ positions on specific issues and report that to the elected official at the end of the day, Altman explained. “It is so critical what that record says at the end of every day.”
If your elected official sees that tens of thousands of people from your state are calling to voice disapproval with ICE, for example, that can influence any future decisions they need to make, Altman noted.
With the Jan. 30 deadline looming and votes coming up soon, “now is the time to call,” Altman said.
