The reported proposal to deport and imprison U.S. citizens in other countries is a blatant violation of constitutional rights and democratic principles. Forcibly sending American citizens to foreign prisons would strip them of their legal protections and due process, setting a dangerous precedent that undermines civil liberties. This extreme measure appears driven more by authoritarian impulses than genuine concerns about public safety or justice. As elected representatives sworn to uphold the Constitution, you must firmly reject any plan to deprive U.S. citizens of their fundamental rights and subject them to potential mistreatment abroad solely on the whims of the executive branch. Protecting the inviolable rights and dignity of all Americans, regardless of circumstances, is a sacred responsibility. I urge you to speak out forcefully against this unconstitutional overreach and defend the cherished freedoms that define the nation. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive ANY PERSON of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to ANY PERSON within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
