An open letter to the U.S. Congress

STOP ICE's unconscionable cruelty & costs. They need prosecution not funding.

25 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

ICE is corrupt to the core. Insist on all the democratic demands and go farther. As you saw from whistleblower Ryan Scwank's testimony, ICE trains agents to violate the constitution. ICE/CBP is committing atrocities. Every day we learn of brutality, deaths, cruelty and terror. -- they released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, who is 56, nearly blind, has other medical conditions and is a survivor of genocide, near an address in Buffalo NY where he no longer lived, with no notification to his family, in severe winter. He was later found dead. How does this make us safe? Who is the criminal? Tell your colleagues to shut up about seeking waste and fraud. ICE operations are a colossal misuse of funds: The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. That makes: $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst." Tell me how that works. From the lies of Bovino and Noem to the cruelty and lawless violence of the agents to the gross infringements on the constitution, this agency is rotten to the core. It needs defunding and prosecution not a CR. Every death, every extrajudicial killing, every traumatised child is blood on your hands if you allow this alarming and evil Gestapo to continue.
