Contact Senators Klobuchar and Smith, and your Congressional representative, to demand that they vote “no” on any short-term or long-term funding for DHS unless it includes the full set of constraints, does not provide any additional funds for ICE and CBP, and demands to remove all ICE agents from Minnesota.

The House of Representatives voted January 21 to strike down a 20-year ban on mining in the watersheds of both the Boundary Waters and Voyageurs National Park. (House Joint Resolution 140).  That opens up 225,504 acres of pristine national forest land to mining by Chilean-owned mining company.   Minnesota Eighth District Congressman Pete Stauber, who consistently supports mining interests at the expense of public land, introduced the resolution in Congress. 

The resolution now goes to the Senate, which must vote “no” on this measure.

Insisting that any bill that funds DHS must not include additional funding for ICE, and must include meaningful limits on ICE. Current bill includes an additional $10 billion for ICE (over and above the $75 billion already appropriated), and only includes some weak restrictions. With yet another Minnesotan murdered by ICE, we need to keep the government shut down as long as necessary to force ICE’s withdrawal from Minnesota. 

Tens of thousands of Twin Cities residents have stepped up to this attack on our cities by protesting, guarding schools, delivering meals, and in countless other ways.  But we can do more.  We can demand that Congress use the tools they have to end this lawless violence, and withhold their votes from any bill that would increase ICE's already massive budget.

Minnesota Rep. Pete Stauber has introduced legislation that would reopen the door to sulfide-ore mining near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) and neighboring Voyageurs National Park. This proposal represents another attempt to advance mining activity with significant risks to water quality in one of the most ecologically valuable regions in the country.
