Hold fast. STOP ICE abuse, gulags, crime. No concessions

To: Sen. Collins, Sen. King

From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME

February 15

Don't cave. Rein in ICE. It needs to be abolished. But if you can't abolish it, hold out for every demand. I am appalled at the cruelty, illegality and terror perpetrated by ICE. It's clear that the long term plan is a network of gulags and virtual slave labor. The conditions of Ice detention are already alarming - and would not be permitted for prisoners of war. If you don't care about legality and prison conditions then consider the cost of human trafficking and detention. And the cost of the lawsuits to come. It's horrifying to read about the profit greed behind this: "GEO Group and CoreCivic criticized ICE. Their chief complaint? ICE's detained population, despite hitting record highs, still isn't large enough." Guess what? It's more expensive to kidnap and detain people than it is to let them earn and pay taxes. The use of the ICE gulags to punish dissent is already happening. Legislate to stop surveillance of protesters. Stop the planned increase in detentions. Stop the quotas. DEFUND DHS IMPEACH NOEM
