Patagonia Urges Senators to Block ICE Funding

Patagonia wrote to the U.S. Senators representing every state where the company employs people yesterday, urging the senators to vote against further funding for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

Here's the text of each of those letters.

SUBJECT: Vote No On Further ICE and DHS Funding

January 27, 2026

Dear Senators Padilla and Schiff:

We have five stores, two corporate headquarters, and millions of Patagonia community members in your state. On their behalf, I write today to urge you to protect those communities and vote against further funding for ICE.

In the face of so many challenges this past year, Patagonia has focused our resources, our voice and our energies where we believe we can add the most: protecting the natural world. But we can't stand by while federal officials in positions of public trust divide people even more, attempt to obfuscate facts, and gaslight the American public with wild, unfounded accusations to explain away the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti before any credible investigation even begins.

This has been a moment of incredible pain for so many. The shootings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti happened about 20 minutes from our St. Paul store, a location that's been part of the community for 21 years. It's part of a tragic pattern that has seen U.S. citizens snatched by federal agents and shipped to facilities far from friends and family,and children as young as five detained, all with ever-shifting explanations and overheated rhetoric that changes with each passing news cycle.

Tragically, it is not just Minneapolis that is affected. We are witnessing the militarization of our cities, the expansion of unchecked enforcement power, and a pattern of violence that disproportionately targets the most vulnerable communities and populations.

This downward spiral by an out-of-control executive branch demands checks and balances-and accountability. Congress has actual power to force a reckoning and create change, and it starts by ending further funding for ICE as leverage to demand a new course that protects human beings.

Thank you,
