I write with grave concern about the Trump administration’s escalating violations of constitutional rights and human dignity through Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Recent reports reveal two alarming patterns that demand your immediate attention: 1. ICE’s Unconstitutional Abductions The detention of individuals like Mahmoud Khalil (Columbia University), Rumeysa Ozturk (Tufts University), and hundreds of Venezuelan asylum seekers demonstrates systemic due process violations: - Warrantless arrests: ICE is detaining immigrants at routine check-ins without judicial oversight - Denial of legal counsel: Venezuelan deportees report being rushed onto planes within hours of detention - Violation of non-refoulement: Forcibly returning asylum seekers to danger violates U.S. and international law These actions constitute clear Fifth Amendment violations by denying due process while spending taxpayer funds on unconstitutional enforcement. 2. El Salvador’s Torture Prisons for Deportees The Trump administration’s agreement to send migrants to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison (40,000 capacity) has created a humanitarian crisis: - Venezuelan deportees are being falsely labeled as "gang members" without evidence - Documented torture methods include electric shocks, prolonged solitary confinement, and starvation - 153+ deaths reported since 2023 at this facility alone This constitutes a modern concentration camp system enabled by U.S. policy. The deportation of Venezuelans to third countries where they face torture violates: - The UN Convention Against Torture - The Refugee Act oqf 1980 - U.S. Code § 2241 prohibiting torture I request that you: 1. Publicly denounce ICE’s unconstitutional abduction tactics 2. Defund all deportations to El Salvador’s prison system 3. Introduce legislation to: - Ban warrantless ICE arrests - End third-country deportation agreements - Create oversight for detention conditions 4. Hold emergency hearings on the treatment of Venezuelan deportees The Trump administration’s immigration policies have created a shadow justice system that violates our Constitution’s core principles. I expect your office to take immediate action to stop these abuses.
