Tell Your State Reps to Stop ICE Abuses

State legislators have the power—and responsibility—to stop secret police tactics and ICE abuses in our communities. Use the scripts below to demand your lawmakers ban masked law enforcement, strengthen sanctuary protections, and increase oversight of federal immigration activity. The threats are real, and the time to act is now.

  • Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [City], [State].

    I’m calling to urge [Representative/Senator Last Name] to take action against the rising use of masked, anonymous law enforcement and abusive ICE tactics in our state. We’re seeing students, visa and green card holders, and undocumented immigrants disappear without explanation — and even public officials, like NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, being arrested.

    This is all part of Trump’s escalating immigration agenda, and we need bold legislative leadership to push back.

    I’m asking Rep/Senator [Last Name] to:

    1. Introduce or support legislation like California’s No Secret Police Act that bans face coverings and requires visible ID for all law enforcement.

    2. Increase oversight and transparency around federal immigration activity in our state.

    3. Strengthen sanctuary protections and stop local agencies from sharing data or cooperating in politically motivated ICE raids.

    Thank you.

  • Subject: Support State Action Against Masked Policing and Immigration Overreach

    Dear [Representative/Senator Last Name],

    I’m urging you to take legislative action to confront the rising use of masked, anonymous law enforcement and abusive ICE tactics in our state. This includes disappearances of students, visa/green card holders, undocumented immigrants, arrests of public officials like NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, and increasing political targeting under Trump’s immigration agenda.

    As a state legislator, you can help:

    • Introduce or support legislation modeled after California’s No Secret Police Act (SB 627), requiring law enforcement officers to wear visible identification and banning face coverings during public operations.

    • Increase oversight and data transparency around federal immigration activity in the state.

    • Strengthen sanctuary laws, including prohibiting local agencies from sharing data with ICE or cooperating in politically motivated raids.

    These are not hypothetical threats, they’re happening now and rapidly getting worse. We need you to lead with urgency and principle, and help deliver a legislative response grounded in justice, transparency, and accountability.

    Sincerely,

    [Your Name]
