Congress must:
➡️ Refuse to provide one more dollar to ICE and CBP through the appropriations process; and
➡️ Immediately take action to revoke the tens of billions already given through last summer’s reconciliation bill.

As we’ve seen today and over the last few weeks in Minneapolis and across the country, federal funding for ICE continues to prop up systems that have caused serious harm to our communities, while avoiding hard questions about transparency and abuse of power.

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

⏰ The Senate is expected to vote on this funding package soon. Calls and emails matter — especially right now.

🚨 TAKE ACTION TODAY:
Tell our Nebraska members of Congress: NO additional funding for ICE violence! https://t.co/bR3YMWc1Hn

Information is most helpful when it’s clear and specific. When sharing observations, focus on facts like location, time, actions, and visible details. Taking a moment to verify before sharing helps prevent confusion, harm, and fear. https://t.co/noJd4Rx667

Thanks to Sen DeBoer for bringing ✅ LB1032 to the #neleg this session! The bill recognizes tribal customary adoptions, ensuring Native children can maintain ties with their families, tribes, communities, and culture, while still finding permanency.

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

Last week, the #NELeg officially kicked off the 2026 session!

Bill introductions will continue through January 21.
Here are the new bills we’re watching so far. 👀

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

Thank you @senatormachaela for intro’ing ✅LB966, aka the Hunger-Free Schools Act, in the #NELeg! This bill would make more students eligible for free school meals by using state funds to make all reduced-price eligible student meals free.

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

Communities in Minnesota – and across the country – are committed to welcome regardless of the federal government’s dangerous immigration enforcement actions that have harmed newcomers & long-time community members alike.

We join them & @CVTorg to elevate local voices from MN.

Minnesota communities are committed to welcome regardless of the federal government’s dangerous immigration enforcement actions that have harmed newcomers & long-time Minnesotans alike.

✅LB929 also requires Nebraska DHHS to set the new copays for Medicaid expansion enrollees required by HR1 at the lowest amount possible. #NELeg

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

Thank you @JohnforNE for intro’ing ✅LB929 in the #NELeg! This bill protects Nebraskans’ access to care through Medicaid by prohibiting Nebraska DHHS from requiring Medicaid enrollees to pay copays that aren’t required by federal law.

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

Police have noted that serving a federal immigration agent role is mission drift that harms public trust and undermines police ability to do their primary job of investigating and fighting crime.

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

Thank you, @GuerecaforLeg, for introducing ✅ LB881 in the #NELeg! This bill supports public safety by requiring transparency and process before enacting harmful policies that force local law enforcement into a federal immigration agent role.

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

If passed in the #NELeg, ✅LB907 would reinstate ICE’s own previous guidelines regarding these formerly protected spaces in Nebraska.

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

Thank you, Senator Margo Juarez, for intro’ing ✅LB907 to keep our Nebraska communities and children safe by preventing ICE from entering sensitive locations such as schools, hospitals, courthouses, and places of worship without a judicial warrant. #NELeg

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

Thank you, Senator Victor Rountree, for introducing ✅LB843 in the #NELeg! This bill would protect Nebraskans’ access to food by reversing eligibility changes that prevent refugees, asylees, and other immigrants from participating in SNAP.

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

The House votes today on whether to extend the enhanced tax credits Nebraskans rely on to keep their Marketplace health care affordable. Contact them NOW and tell them to support this three year extension!

❌LB809 would also thwart the will of Lincoln voters who passed a source of income ban last May, and it limits other municipalities from being able to enact similar fair housing laws. #NELeg

[Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed]

Today, ❌LB809 was intro’d by Sen. Dover in the #NELeg. This bill would harm Nebraska renters by prohibiting localities from banning housing discrimination on the basis of a tenant’s source of income.
