I am writing to express my deep opposition to the escalating pattern of excessive force and constitutional overreach by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Recent reports of aggressive home entries, masked agents lacking clear identification, expanded detention capacity, and fatal enforcement encounters have alarmed communities across the country. These are not isolated incidents; they reflect a broader shift toward enforcement practices that sidestep judicial oversight and erode Fourth and Fifth Amendment protections. No matter one’s position on immigration policy, constitutional limits are not optional. Federal agents do not have authority to disregard due process, conduct warrantless home intrusions, or operate without meaningful transparency. When Congress continues funding without imposing guardrails or demanding accountability, it signals tolerance of these practices. I urge you to take immediate action to: - Require judicial warrants for residential entries. - Mandate visible identification and body cameras for all enforcement operations. - Strengthen independent oversight and public reporting requirements. - Oppose expansion of detention facilities absent enforceable constitutional safeguards. Our government’s legitimacy depends on adherence to the rule of law. Immigration enforcement must not come at the expense of civil liberties. I ask you to publicly state your position and outline the steps you will take to ensure constitutional compliance.
