An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop sending people to ICE sanctioned concentration camps on US soil

25 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

The conditions described in immigrant detention facilities are deplorable and violate basic human rights standards. Holding people in overcrowded cells without access to adequate food, water, sanitation, or medical care is unacceptable and inhumane. Such treatment is not in line with American values or international norms. Concrete action must be taken to improve conditions and uphold the dignity of detainees. Increased funding should be directed towards expanding detention capacity with proper facilities rather than forcing people into overcrowded, unsanitary holding areas. Immigration violations are civil offenses and detention should be an absolute last resort, reserved only for those who pose a legitimate threat. Alternatives to detention, such as monitored release programs, should be prioritized. Comprehensive immigration reform is needed to address systemic issues within enforcement and create a fair, humane system consistent with American principles. In the meantime, standards of care in detention must be raised and facilities with repeated violations should face consequences. No human being deserves to be treated in the unconscionable manner described.
