‘Will Chuck fight?’: Protesters call on Schumer to use leverage to rein in ICE, block DHS funding

About 25 members of Indivisible Brooklyn, an all-volunteer grassroots group that organizes actions and events to promote justice and hold elected officials accountable, braved freezing temperatures on Jan. 20 to rally outside Sen. Chuck Schumer’s home in Park Slope.

The group is calling on Schumer to use his leverage as Senate minority leader to oppose any appropriations bill that includes increased funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Border Patrol when the Senate returns to session on Jan. 26.
