An open letter to the U.S. Senate

STOP the LIES that justify ICE-GESTAPO. STOP THE LAWLESSNESS. No shock gloves

75 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

I thank Senator Angus King for his excellent comments about the announcement that ICE agents will wear electric shock gloves. . Senator King says "“At a time when the majority of Americans believe that Immigration and Customs Enforcement…has been irresponsible in its use of force, the new ICE announcement touting shock gloves begs a crucial question: is ICE genuinely focused on de-escalation or, what appears more likely, intimidation of anyone critical of their often unlawful conduct? Senator King also urged “every single one of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to stand up, assert our constitutional authority, and demand immediate answers from ICE on their hiring practices, training, and tactics." He continued: “I never thought I would see the day when masked and armed men in unmarked cars would be roaming the streets and neighborhoods of America, acting in utter disregard of the legal constraints that are basic to our freedoms. “It’s becoming more and more clear that the stated basis for this gross violation of our rights—that they are ridding our communities of ‘the worst of the worst’—is a lie, and the real purpose is to establish a national police force to do the bidding of a corrupt and lawless administration.” “It is past time for Congress to do its duty and, for once,” he said, “put country ahead of party. ..... ... .. SENATOR KING IS RIGHT. EVERY SENATOR NEEDS TO LISTEN, AND SAY NO TO THIS UNDERMINING OF OUR RIGHTS, THE RULE OF LAW, CIVIL ORDER AND DEMOCRACY ITSELF. Please, heed these words.
