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

Stop Abbott’s Operation Lonestar

15 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

The recent discovery of two bodies in the Rio Grande, entangled in the border buoys installed under Operation Lone Star, underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive review of this $4 billion program. The Mexican President has rightly labeled these deaths as inhumane, and the U.S. Justice Department has raised valid concerns about the potential for further loss of life and strained diplomatic relations. It is crucial to address these issues promptly. Therefore, it is requested that immediate action be taken to halt the installation of any further river barriers and to remove the existing buoys. This will prevent further tragedies and pave the way for a more humane and effective approach to border security. The current strategy has been criticized as "barbaric" by Democratic lawmakers and humanitarian rights groups, highlighting the need for a more compassionate approach.
