LWV Advocacy

LWVUS Condemns Unwarranted Federal Presence and Military Escalation in Minnesota

“The League of Women Voters calls on Congress to exercise its constitutional oversight authority and investigate these threats of federal overreach, as well as DHS, ICE, and CBP use-of-force. We urge the public to reject efforts to normalize the use of federal military force as a response to civil unrest or tragedy.

“The League stands with Minnesotans in affirming that democracy is built by the people, not imposed through fear or force. We strongly condemn any unwarranted federal immigration enforcement and military deployment or threat of deployment in Minnesota or anywhere in the United States.”

LWVUS Press Releases

Call to Action:

Urge your federal representatives to:

1. Refuse to vote for any Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations bill that includes increased funding for ICE or Border
Patrol, including funds for detention.

2. Refuse to vote for any appropriations bill for DHS beyond January 30 unless it:

a. Strengthens restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to conduct dragnet arrest operations
and target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at
the time of the apprehension;
b. Ends border patrol deployment to our cities and rejects its ever-expanding mandate in
immigration enforcement; and
c. Limits DHS's reprogramming and transfer authority, including specifically preventing
reprogramming and transferring funds for detention.
