An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Protect constitutional rights, restore due process for detained individuals

30 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

I am writing to express my disgust at the Trump regime's acknowledgment that they deported a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly sent him to El Salvador. This is another complete bastardization of our rights that must be met with immediate action. The disappearance of an individual with protected status raises grave concerns over the violation of constitutional rights and disregard for due process. This egregious incident showcases a blatant disrespect for the principles of habeas corpus enshrined in our legal system. The claim of inability to rectify this situation is a form of weaponized incompetence that undermines the sacred tenets of justice. Immediate action must be taken to uphold the rule of law, restore the individual's rights, and ensure such transgressions do not occur again. A robust system of checks and balances is imperative to safeguard civil liberties and prevent the erosion of fundamental constitutional protections. We need our elected officials to make as much noise as possible about this. If there is no pushback to blatant constitutional rights violations, they will only become more emboldened.
