An open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives

Stop waste, fraud, and abuse by DHS.

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I understand that DHS is overpaying massively for the detention warehouses it’s purchasing—new reporting says there’s a 33% to 323% markup on these facilities compared to fair market values. I want to know who is pocketing those profits and why that money isn’t going to help Americans instead. We don’t need these detention centers, in which people are dying in alarming numbers. We need healthcare. We need housing. We need affordable utility bills. I urge Congress to immediately block funding for warehouse detention expansion, demand full public disclosure on all contracts, and hold oversight hearings on the waste, fraud, and abuse we’re seeing from DHS.
