Tell Republicans: Stop the Games—Pass DHS Reform Now

Republicans in Congress are rushing to bypass democracy to push their agenda—and it’s putting all of us at risk.

Instead of negotiating real immigration reform to end the shutdown, Republican leaders are trying to force DHS funding through budget reconciliation—a procedural shortcut designed to avoid debate, compromise, and accountability. 

By refusing to work with Democrats, Republicans are continuing to enable Donald Trump’s deeply unpopular, extreme anti-immigrant agenda—one that has stripped civil rights, expanded abusive enforcement, and put lives at risk, contributing to preventable deaths while leaving communities less safe and workers caught in the middle.

Tell Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and Republican leadership: stop bypassing democracy and negotiate real DHS reform now.

This is what it looks like when politicians stop solving problems and start rigging the system instead.

If they get away with this, it sends a dangerous message: those in power can bypass democracy to push extreme agendas—no matter the cost.

Add your name now and demand Republicans stop the games and pass real DHS reforms to end the shutdown.

The petition to Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and Republican leadership reads: “Stop using procedural tactics to bypass real immigration reform. Work with Democrats to negotiate and pass bipartisan reforms alongside full DHS funding immediately. Reject policies that erode civil rights and put lives at risk, and commit to solutions that protect our communities and uphold democratic accountability.”
