An Open Letter

To: Sen. Collins, Sen. King

From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME

January 27

Bovino out is not enough. If you aren't concerned about the extrajudicial murders (which should enrage any decent human being), please consider: . The entire ICE and DHS operation has been vitiated by: . ---federal overreach; ---by unaccountable overspends, waste, fraud, and abuse; ---By racial profiling and bigotry ---by violations of the law and constitution which do not just undermine the rule of law, but will also incur soaring liability in lawsuits and damages long into the future; ---by the undermining of congress's rightful powers of oversight and inspection. . Now we see further alarming corruption, and we see the long game revealed, in the demand for Minnesota's voter rolls in exchange for getting ICE out................................................... . ..You know better than I do that Minnesota and Maine are NOT high nationally for either crime or immigration; you know better than I do how immigrants revived Maine's economy. You know better than I do that if there were corruption, the way to battle it would be forensic accountants not armed bullies in the streets. .. ICE HAS BEEN A CORRUPT TOOL OF DOMESTIC TERROR AND IS PART OF A STRATEGY OF SUBVERSION OF THE CONSTITUTION AND STATE'S RIGHTS AND ELECTIONS. .............. ..If you don't care about those principles, then imagine the crops rotting in the fields because they need to be picked at a certain time and the workers we all depend on to pick them are afraid to go to work. Imagine the farmer who will lose a season's income because the carrots will rot in the ground and he can't harvest them himself. .................. .. The SENATE MUST ACT. . NO FUNDS for DHS; if there is a shutdown, good. It belongs to the GOP. FIX THIS NOW. FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION. STOP ENABLING DICTATOR TRUMP's SCHUTZTAFEL, GESTAPO, SLAVE PATROLS. Bovino out is not enough. Noem out is not enough. More training would not have been the solution for Dachau and it would not be the solution for ICE's abuse. We need root and branch reform, uprooting cruelty and illegality. ............
