An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Investigate Trump’s Unconstitutional Agreement with El Salvador

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing to express deep concern over reports that former President Donald Trump entered into an agreement with El Salvador that violated the U.S. Constitution. The deal, which reportedly altered U.S. asylum and immigration policy without congressional approval, appears to have sidestepped the role of Congress and the checks and balances that are fundamental to our republic. Under the Constitution, foreign agreements that affect U.S. law and policy require congressional oversight or ratification. If the Trump administration negotiated binding commitments with El Salvador on immigration enforcement, asylum processing, or refugee relocation without following constitutional procedures, this represents a direct violation of the oath of office to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” I am demanding to know: Why have Congress and oversight committees not held hearings on this matter to determine the extent of the constitutional breach? What steps are being taken to review and, if necessary, revoke agreements entered into unlawfully? How will Congress ensure that no president—past, present, or future—can bypass constitutional limits when making foreign agreements? Allowing such violations to stand undermines the rule of law and sets a dangerous precedent. The oath to uphold the Constitution is not symbolic; it is binding, and violations must be investigated and remedied. I urge you to take immediate action to examine this agreement, hold public hearings, and reaffirm Congress’s authority over foreign policy and immigration law as mandated by the Constitution.
