Restore due process for wrongfully deported Venezuelan asylum seekers

To: Rep. Landsman, Sen. Moreno, Sen. Husted

From: A constituent in Maineville, OH

March 27

The recent deportation of Venezuelan asylum seekers to an El Salvador prison camp based solely on their appearance and tattoos is a grave violation of due process and human rights. Credible evidence shows many of these individuals have no criminal ties and their tattoos hold personal significance - tributes to family, faith, and interests. Wrongfully labeling them as gang members and stripping them of their legal rights to seek asylum is unjustifiable and inhumane treatment. To uphold the principles of justice and human dignity, immediate action must be taken to review each case thoroughly, restoring legal representation and fair hearings. Those found to have been wrongly deported must be swiftly repatriated to the United States and granted the opportunity to properly make their asylum claims. Failure to correct this injustice would not only compound the suffering of these individuals but also tarnish America's commitment to human rights on the global stage.
