An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Expose and eradicate the blue butterfly rooms. This is unconscionable.

4 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

There are mounting reports of so-called “blue butterfly rooms” where children are being held under opaque and deeply troubling conditions. If even a fraction of these accounts are accurate, this represents a profound moral and legal failure happening under your authority. You do not get to look away. You do not get to delay. Children in U.S. custody—regardless of immigration status—are entitled to safety, transparency, and humane treatment. Any system that hides them behind euphemisms and restricted access demands immediate scrutiny. Who authorized these facilities? What conditions are these children being kept in? Why is there so little public accountability? Congress has both the power and the obligation to investigate, to demand full transparency, and to ensure that no child is being mistreated or unlawfully detained in secrecy. That means hearings, inspections, and immediate intervention where rights are being violated. If children are being held in conditions that cannot withstand public scrutiny, they should not be held there at all. Find out what is happening. Open the doors. Release these children to safe, lawful alternatives. Anything less is complicity.
