An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Save innocent deportees & hold Trump accountable for defying the Supreme Court

15 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

The Supreme Court has made a unanimous ruling, upholding a lower court's ruling that the Trump Administration must facilitate the return of Kilmar Garcia to America. Trump is ignoring these rulings, directly challenging them, and effectively saying: "The Supreme Court has made their decision; now let them enforce it." It is now in the hands of Congress to enforce the Court's order, by a congressional delegation, even flying down to El Salvador if necessary, with or without the Trump Administration's help while simultaneously prosecuting Trump for his defiance. There is precedent for a congressional delegation: In 1978, upon hearing disturbing reports about the conditions and goings-on of "Jonestown", and concerned for the hundreds of people there (many of whom were Americans, and constituents of his district) Congressman Leo Ryan flew down to Guyana in South America to investigate the compound and bring home any who wanted to leave Jonestown, or who were too scared or unable leave. For this, Ryan and his delegation were ambushed and killed by the Jonestown cultists. As tragic as the story ended, it shows the courage and leadership that Ryan and his delegation displayed in their attempt to investigate Jonestown and bring kidnapped and imprisoned Americans home. This is the courage and strength that Congress must display now, to effectuate the return of Kilmar Garcia, and any other unjustly kidnapped American. A unanimous Supreme Court ruling cannot be ignored by the President, and while awaiting his prosecution, Congress cannot stand by idly.
