U.S. House of Representatives
Rep. Josh Riley (NY19): (202 )225-5441 or (607) 242-0200
Use the suggested script below:
Hi, My name is [Name]. I’m a constituent calling from [ZIP code]. My email is [Email Address].
I’m calling to urge the Congressman to co-sponsor and publicly promote the No Anonymity in Immigration Enforcement Act proposed by Representative Nydia Velázquez of New York. This legislation would require ICE officers to show visible identification, and ban them from concealing their identities with masks. This will be a necessary step towards rebuilding trust between communities and law enforcement. I urge the Congressman to use his public platform to denounce the horrific use of taxpayer dollars to create a police state.
Representative Pat Ryan (NY18) : (202) 225-5614 or (845) 443-2930
Use the suggested script below:
Hi, My name is [Name]. I’m a constituent calling from [ZIP code]. My email is [Email Address].
I’m calling to urge the Congressman to co-sponsor and publicly promote the No Anonymity in Immigration Enforcement Act (HR 4004) proposed by Representative Nydia Velázquez of New York. This legislation would require ICE officers to show visible identification, and ban them from concealing their identities with masks. This will be a necessary step towards rebuilding trust between communities and law enforcement. I urge the Congressman to use his public platform to denounce the horrific use of taxpayer dollars to create a police state.
I’m also calling to thank the Congressman for his leadership during this difficult time. His recent telephone town hall was a valuable discussion of community concerns about the recently passed federal budget reconciliation bill.
I’d like a response in writing, please. Thank you so much.

Resist the Escalation of ICE Raids and Detentions
With the passage of H.R. 1, Republicans in the House and Senate have handed Donald Trump and notorious xenophobe Stephen Miller $171 billion to supercharge their mass deportation operations, including $45 billion for detention centers and $30 billion for new ICE officers and transportation. ICE’s funding now exceeds the total immigration enforcement budgets of the Obama, Biden, and first Trump administrations combined. Many budget reconciliation provisions do not go into effect until 2026 or later, but ICE’s funding increase is immediate. This means:
- More ICE raids in cities nationwide, with ICE agents terrorizing residents with masked abductions and violent assaults and ICE impersonators further fueling chaos and fear.
- More despicably inhumane concentration camps like the facility grossly dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” built on top of a Florida Everglades swamp.
- More economic damage as farmworkers, caregivers, and other essential workers go into hiding and communities avoid public spaces out of fear.
Despite this unprecedented level of funding for ICE, the agency relies on local law enforcement for assistance. The bill includes $14 billion for local law enforcement departments to incentivize such partnerships. Both Congress and state governments must oppose the Trump administration’s push towards an authoritarian police state and protect its communities from this terrifying assault. (5 Calls)
