An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Deportations to Active War Zones and Dictatorships

4 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

According to The Guardian, the Trump administration has deported over 21,000 people to countries the State Department labels too dangerous for Americans to visit. Our government is sending people, including 600 children, into active war zones, brutal dictatorships, and countries where the US has no diplomatic relations whatsoever. The Marshall Project's analysis of ICE data makes the scale undeniable. More than 200 people were sent to Iran, including a Christian convert and a political dissident flagged as persecution risks, before the US-Israeli war broke out there. Three people were reportedly deported to North Korea! The overwhelming majority of those deported had no criminal convictions. The 1980 Refugee Act explicitly prohibits sending asylum seekers to countries where their life or freedom is threatened. This administration is violating that law in plain sight. What are you doing to stop these illegal actions? Silence is a choice, and your constituents are watching.
