An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Choose country not politics-stand by the constitution, Stop Dangerous Overreach

57 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

A legally residing father, Kilmar Abrego García, was wrongly deported to a prison in El Salvador. Even after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the Trump administration has refused to bring him back. This failure to uphold our own legal system is unacceptable. Now, there are proposals to deport even U.S. citizens convicted of crimes to foreign prisons. The rhetoric around this—including warnings that “hometowns are next”—is deeply concerning. It’s not just a legal issue; it’s a dangerous overreach that risks undermining our constitutional protections and the rule of law. These proposals disproportionately impact communities of color and set a precedent no American should accept. Regardless of political affiliation, we should all agree: citizenship comes with rights that cannot be outsourced. I urge you to: • Investigate the wrongful deportation of Mr. Abrego. • Oppose any efforts to remove U.S. citizens to foreign prisons. • Speak out against threats that sow fear and division in our communities. This is a moment to choose country over politics. Please act to defend the Constitution and the dignity of all Americans.
