An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Demand Hearings on Mass Immigration Case Closures for Paperwork Noncompliance

133 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

Call hearings and demand answers from the administration on the alarming surge in immigration cases being closed for "lack of compliance" with paperwork requirements. A 20-fold increase in these closures is not a bureaucratic hiccup — it is a systematic purge of thousands of people's legal cases, stripping them of any real opportunity to be heard. These are not abstract numbers. Real people, many of them fleeing violence and persecution, are losing their cases not on the merits but because of paperwork technicalities that the administration is weaponizing. Vulnerable communities with limited English access and no legal representation are being set up to fail, then quietly erased from the system. This is a manipulation of the legal process, and Congress has both the authority and the obligation to scrutinize it. Press the administration on who is issuing these directives, what the compliance standards actually require, and why closures have spiked so dramatically. The people affected deserve a functioning legal system, not one rigged to discard them on a technicality.
