Organizational Letters to Congress

Dear Members of Congress:

This month marks the end of the third fiscal year of the Trump administration, and again we are struck by the enormity of the changes in the immigration and border policy landscape in the United States. In the face of a White House that chips away at the norms of good governance each day, we urge you to ensure that in Fiscal Year 2020 Congress cuts the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)’s budget for detention, enforcement, and border militarization, while putting accountability measures in place to stop the agency’s pattern of abuse of the appropriations process.
