I’m writing because I am disgusted by the attacks on immigrants in our country right now. ICE is out of control— violent, unaccountable, and indiscriminate in who they’re picking up. Racially-profiled people being held in ICE detention centers are complaining of hunger and terrible conditions. And the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” internment camp in the Florida Everglades is horrifying. Forcing nonviolent people into unsanitary and unsafe conditions simply because they want a better life is wrong. It needs to stop. Every person in this country is entitled to due process and humane treatment. The fact that ICE is providing neither is shameful. Congress needs to rein them in. And shut down Alligator Alcatraz before a mass casualty event happens.
