An Open Letter

To: Rep. Graves, Sen. Schmitt, Sen. Hawley

From: A constituent in Plattsburg, MO

April 1

A person DIES in ICE custody every SIX days. Set your clock. Convicted criminals are only 7-12% of ALL detained persons. What happened to getting the ‘worst of worst’? Sure as hell costs a lot to detain ~90% of these folks who are not convicted criminals. AND, if the plan is deportation of criminals, WHY are they sitting in concentration camps in this country? Why aren’t they deported? We cannot “detain” our way OUT of this deportation ‘project.’ I want to know WHY someone dies EVERY.SINGLE.WEEK in custody. Have you called for hearings to determine WHY ICE is KILLING people in these concentration camps? I expect an answer – being an undocumented person should not be punishable by DEATH. You are IGNORING my email on this topic – STOP ignoring me and answer, I deserve an answer.
