An Open Letter

To: Rep. McCollum, Sen. Smith, Sen. Klobuchar

From: A constituent in Saint Paul, MN

January 12

I am looking for action from my representatives regarding continued funding of Trump's out of control mass deportation program. DHS/ICE was created as a response to 9/11 and has been a proven failure and waste of money since its inception. It has now been fully corrupted by white supremacist, nationalist elements operating with apparent impunity. I am demanding my representatives NOT FUND these agencies (DHS, ICE, HSI, CBP, etc) and initiate full and independent investigations into their ongoing criminality. From Tom Homan's receiving bribes to everyday violations of constitutional rights, to outright extrajudicial killings and rampant sexual and physical abuses of hostages, refusal of legitimate inspection of concentration camps, there are many aspects worthy of intense oversight and scrutiny. At a bare minimum, continued funding must be halted. I will not vote for or support any candidates who fail this basic test of human decency and representative action.
