First, I’m writing to ask that you demand that ICE release every single child in detention right now.. These places are not safe for children, not to mention that the Trump administration is violating the Flores Settlement by regularly keeping kids imprisoned in them for longer than 20 days. ICE needs to be abolished and replaced, but until then I expect Congress to codify all of the demands on Democrats’ list, and that’s at the bare minimum. I, and the majority of Americans, support you in voting down any new DHS funding until that happens.
Second, Trump has unilaterally taken us to war with Iran. I was 16 in 2001 and 18 in 2003. I do not want another forever war. Congress needs to do its job and stop him by bringing a war powers resolution for a vote, voting yes, and taking back your power.
Lastly, you need to start speaking out for impeachment loudly. Now. If you can't do it now I have no faith that you will be able to change course if Democrats regain the majority. There is no need for investigations; we know Trump is violating the constitution daily. Just do it.
