CHN to the Senate: Oppose Budget Resolution That Paves Way for Additional Funding for ICE and CBP
April 22, 2026
Letter to Congress
The Coalition on Human Needs sent this letter to every Senate office on April 22, 2026, opposing the FY 2026 budget resolution, and any vehicle that paves the way for additional funding for ICE and federal immigration enforcement and detention. CHN also opposes any amendments that attack basic needs programs or further jeopardize the health and safety of immigrant communities. At a time when so many in communities across the country are struggling with rising costs of living, we urge Congress to reject attempts to fast-track additional funds for ICE and CBP while cutting programs that help people meet their basic needs.
