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

Why are we deporting tourists

5 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

The disturbing report about German tourists being subjected to handcuffing, strip searches, jail, and deportation from Hawaii raises grave concerns about the state of civil liberties and human rights in the United States. Such egregious violations of personal dignity and due process should have no place in a democratic society that values freedom and justice. This incident tarnishes the reputation of the U.S. as a hospitable destination and calls into question the nation's commitment to upholding the rights of visitors. Urgent action is needed to investigate and address the systemic issues that enabled such an appalling abuse of power. Failing to do so will only further erode confidence in the ability of the United States to provide a safe and welcoming environment for international travelers.
