I am writing as a concerned constituent to urge your immediate attention to the detention of Liam Ramos and to express my deep opposition to the continued existence and expansion of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The detention of Liam Ramos highlights the broader, systemic harms caused by ICE’s practices—families separated, individuals detained without due process, and communities living in fear. These actions do not make our communities safer. Instead, they erode trust, undermine civil liberties, and cause lasting trauma to children and families. ICE has repeatedly demonstrated a pattern of abuse, lack of accountability, and disregard for basic human rights. From inhumane detention conditions to the targeting of long-standing community members, the agency operates in ways that are incompatible with our nation’s stated values of justice, dignity, and fairness. I urge you to do everything within your power to advocate for Liam Ramos’s release and to support policies that move us toward abolishing ICE. Immigration enforcement should not rely on detention, intimidation, or punishment. We need humane, community-based approaches that respect due process and keep families together. As your constituent, I ask you to take a clear public stance: • Demand transparency and accountability in the detention of Liam Ramos • Oppose funding increases for ICE and detention centers • Support legislation that dismantles ICE and replaces it with humane, rights-respecting systems History will remember where our leaders stood at this moment. I hope you will choose compassion, justice, and courage. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your response and to seeing meaningful action on this issue.
