CALL SENATOR MERKLEY and SENATOR WYDEN:
We need to call both of our senators and demand that they refuse to give ICE any more taxpayer money.
"Specifically we are asking that Senators withhold their votes from any legislation funding DHS unless it:
- Stops ICE and Border Patrol from receiving more funding
- Restricts ICE and Border Patrol's ability to target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at the time of the apprehension
Regarding: ICE FUNDING

Mia writes that the Democrats have a supermajority but if Republicans walk out, nothing may get done even with a supermajority.
That makes it even more important for us to follow the bills, call, write and testify about the bills that are most important to you.
Oregon State Legislature begins 2/2/26
Concerned about ICE in OR? Follow what's going on in Salem.
Oregon's 2026 Legislative Session begins on 02/02/2026 and ends 35 days later (03/06/2026).
We don't have a lot of time to get our voices heard.
Rep Janelle Bynum CD5
If Representative Bynum receives three calls from democrats demanding she vote a certain way on a bill but get's 2,000 calls from republicans on the same bill demanding she vote a different way, she's probably going to vote with the 2,000 constituents.
BOTTOM LINE: We've got to call her office and leave messages (if we don't reach a person) including your address, on any bills we are concerned about and not assume she'll vote the way we want her to vote if we don't call her.
Her office numbers:
DC: 202-225-5711
Oregon City: 503-387-8651
Rep Maxine Dexter CD3
Even though Representative Dexter is in a fairly "blue" district, we need to call her on the issues near and dear to us too.
Her office numbers:
DC: (202) 225-4811
Portland: (503) 231-2300
