An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Return deported immigrants, respect judicial orders and rule of law

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The Trump administration's deportation of hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador, despite a federal judge's order temporarily barring such removals, is a flagrant violation of the rule of law and judicial authority. This disregard for legal processes and court orders sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the foundations of our democratic system. It is imperative that the illegally deported individuals be returned to the United States immediately. Failure to do so would compound the injustice already committed and further erode faith in the integrity of our institutions. The administration must be held accountable for defying a court order and denying due process to these individuals. This unconstitutional overreach of executive power cannot be allowed to stand. Respect for the separation of powers and the system of checks and balances is essential to maintaining a functional democracy. The judiciary must be empowered to serve as an effective check on executive overreach without fear of its orders being disregarded or undermined. Expedited legal proceedings should follow to provide the deported individuals an opportunity to make their case and have their rights properly adjudicated. Only through adherence to the rule of law and preservation of robust institutional safeguards can we ensure the fair and just treatment of all people, citizen or immigrant alike.
