An Open Letter

To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff

From: A verified voter in San Francisco, CA

First, I’m writing with great concern about the hunger strikes at Delaney Hall in New Jersey, Desert View in Southern California, and other ICE facilities across the country. The conditions in these detention centers are unacceptable. What’s happening to inmates in them is horrific. I find it outrageous that we are even considering giving ICE and CBP more money when captives in their concentration camps are literally starving themselves to draw attention to inhumane conditions. Congress has oversight over these facilities, ICE and CBP. These detention centers need to be shut down and ICE and CBP need to be defunded and investigated. Also, I’m furious about Trump’s slush fund, his arch, his White House cage, his ballroom—all of it. Inflation is surging, the economy is awful, no one can get jobs, and all Trump cares about is monuments to himself. Congress should be stopping it! Put all of that money towards healthcare. Stop the steal! Thanks.
