The Trump administration's plan to send American citizens, including so-called "homegrown criminals," to prisons in foreign countries like El Salvador is a dangerous violation of constitutional rights and due process. No U.S. citizen should be deprived of their liberty without fair proceedings in American courts and with full legal representation. Sending Americans to prisons abroad circumvents the judicial system and severs their ability to challenge unlawful detentions. This extrajudicial approach undermines fundamental principles of justice and enables unchecked executive power. I urge you to take immediate action to block this unconstitutional scheme and ensure all citizens' rights to due process within the United States legal system are protected and upheld. Detaining Americans in foreign prisons without trial makes a mockery of the rule of law.
