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.

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.
