An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Justice for Lucas and Marcos; Habeas corpus applies to ALL

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

On May 26th, Marcos Henrique and Lucas Segobia, both skilled workers here in Maine, were detained by ICE on their way from Massachusetts to Maine for work at 6am. They are being held at Twin Bridges Facility in Wiscasset on no charges, and they fear removal from the state and deportation.   When neither of Lucas or Marcos showed up for work on Monday morning, loved ones tried to locate the pair for over 36 hours. In that process of calling Border Patrol, ICE detention Centers, Local prison facilities, and using the ICE locator page, family members were misled and lied to multiple times before they were located. Worse, Marcos and Lucas were lied to about where they were, believing they were in Portland when they were in Wiscasset.  Every person in this country has a right to due process and habeas corpus. To waive the rights of people based on their immigration status is not just an attack on the immigrant community, it is an attack on everyone.  Do all in your power to ensure Habeas corpus for these two men, and EVERYONE!!! Speak out against the kidnapping of innocent people and use your powers to bring Lucas and Marcos home to their friends and family.
