I am writing as a concerned constituent from Richland, Mississippi to urge you to take immediate action regarding the alarming treatment of Venezuelan immigrants deported to El Salvador and detained in the notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT). Many of these individuals were sent to El Salvador without adequate due process under dubious interpretations of the Alien Enemies Act. Reports from Human Rights Watch, the ACLU, and other advocacy organizations indicate that detainees—including asylum seekers and legal U.S. residents—are being held incommunicado, without legal representation, and under conditions that amount to torture. This is not just a humanitarian disaster; it is a grave violation of international law and U.S. constitutional principles. These individuals were rendered to a foreign prison without trial, and they now face indefinite detention in one of the world’s harshest prison systems. I urge you to publicly support and push for: 1. Targeted sanctions on El Salvador’s security and government officials until all renditioned individuals are accounted for and returned. 2. Congressional investigation into the role of U.S. agencies in these deportations and whether they bypassed legal safeguards. 3. Legislative action to prohibit future deportations to facilities like CECOT, and restore protections for asylum seekers and vulnerable immigrants. These deportations are undermining the credibility of U.S. human rights leadership abroad. Congress must not remain silent while people are disappeared into a system designed for political punishment and terror. Please let me know what steps you are taking to ensure these individuals are safely returned and that such abuses never happen again. Thank you for your time and commitment to justice.
