An Open Letter

To: Gov. Healey, Sen. Lovely, Rep. Cruz

From: A verified voter in Salem, MA

August 26

Stop ICE's $20 Million Plan to Put Electric-Shock Gloves on Federal Agents! "Less-than-Lethal" is a misnomer. "Less Lethal" is more accurate. Either way, these are still Lethal. Electric-Shock Gloves, used on already-terrorized people, are a huge cardiac and neurological risk. Using any weapon on our people is inhumane, especially when over 70% of people in ICE detention camps have completely legitimate paperwork to be here! Enough is enough. Not one more penny for ICE. No more weapons, especially cruel ones, for this rogue, fascist, over-funded agency. No more granting fascist storm troopers blank checks to harm and kill our community members. Morality and Ethics aside, even someone who cares only about dollars and cents must admit: Immigration runs this nation. The point is cruelty. Please take the lead in Civil Rights, up and down the docket! We're begging you to get this right, and insist other legislators, governors, congresspeople, and states do the same. Anything less is not just a risk to your position. It is life and death, destroyed generations, and the most extensive promulgator of systemic racism our nation has seen since slavery. Abolition now!
