Vote YES on the Ban Warehouse Detention Act
To: Rep. Foxx
From: A verified voter in Taylorsville, NC
April 24
I'm writing today to ask you to Vote Yes on the "Ban Warehouse Detention Act", which would prohibit the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), from establishing, operating, expanding, converting, or renovating any warehouse or similar building or structure for the purposes of detaining people.
The bill would also prevent the administration from establishing any new immigrant detention models. This Administration has used Taxpayer money to drastically overpay for empty warehouses around the country. Only Congress has the authority to spend Taxpayer Dollars!!
Americans are painfully aware of the brutality, and criminality, of DHS’s detention practices. The only conversation we should be having is how to dismantle DHS’s cruel and immoral detention-industrial complex.
