INVESTIGATE DETENTION CENTERS

To: Sen. Bennet, Rep. DeGette, Sen. Hickenlooper

From: A constituent in Denver, CO

June 1

I’m a constituent writing from Denver. I’m alarmed about what’s happening at Delaney Hall in New Jersey. Detainees are being kept in unspeakable conditions, ICE has been beating protestors outside with batons, teargassing them, and even shoving them into traffic, and Congress is doing nothing to stop it. Conditions at other detention centers are also awful. ICE and CBP need to be reined in immediately, and under no circumstances should they get more funding. The CEOs of GEO Group and Core Civic should be ordered to come to Capitol Hill and testify about conditions in their facilities, and the cruelty this administration is visiting upon immigrants needs to stop. It’s un-American, it’s economically catastrophic, and it’s morally wrong. Do something. I also oppose the proposed $130 annual registration fee for EVs in the transportation bill. With Trump’s war jacking up gas prices we need to make electric vehicles more affordable, not less. Finally I encourage the congresswoman to vote in favor of extending additional aid to Ukraine.
