Mass Detention is Wrong.

To: Rep. Messmer, Sen. Young, Sen. Banks

From: A verified voter in Mount Vernon, IN

February 8

As your constituent and an American, I am extremely concerned and horrified. Stop DHS indefinitely detaining - without bond - millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety. The Fifth Circuit’s opinion, written by two of the most reactionary, right-wing federal appellate judges in the country is wrong and goes against the spirit and letter of the US Constitution. This is not what our founding fathers set out for America to be - we are home to immigrants!!! We should try to be and do better. This is extremely inhumane and unconstitutional. I am very much against these facilities and I do not want my taxpayer dollars to go towards these practices, facilities, and behaviors. Enough is enough.
