An open letter to the U.S. Congress

oppose any proposed expansion of DHS detention facilities around the country

19 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I am writing today to ask that you publicly use every tool at your disposal to oppose any proposed expansion of DHS detention facilities in our community and around the country.  We cannot accept these proposed horrifying build outs anywhere - these facilities are well documented as holding human beings in dangerous and horrifying conditions. Such facilities already detain over 70,000 people a year, and new “mega-warehouses” will lead to even more people held in inhumane, dangerous conditions.  Immigrants are important members of our local communities, and we cannot accept an inhumane facility like this in our community or anywhere in the United States.  I expect you to use your power as my elected official to reject localized expansions of Trump’s mass detention and deportation agenda.
