Subject: Urgent Demand to End Unlawful Detentions by Masked, Unidentified Forces Dear Congressman [Last Name], I am writing to you with grave concern regarding deeply troubling reports groups men in black without uniforms lacking any visible identification or court orders—detaining individuals in unmarked vans and transporting them to undisclosed locations. Witnesses have reported that some of those kidnapped include university graduate students legally residing in the United States on education visas, as well as local families and children who have committed no crimes. Witnesses, who are American citizens, have also been treated with undue force, arrest and illegal search and seizure for simply asking questions and trying to protect their neighbors from what appears to be a kidnapping from criminal gangs. This practice is not only deeply alarming but also patently unconstitutional. The Constitution of the United States protects all individuals within our borders—not just citizens—from illegal detention, assault, and denial of due process. These fundamental rights are the bedrock of our democracy and must not be violated under any circumstances. It is unacceptable for unidentified forces to operate without transparency, accountability, or adherence to legal procedures. Such actions are reminiscent of authoritarian regimes and have no place in our nation, which prides itself on justice and the rule of law. I am urging you to take immediate and decisive action to investigate and halt these unlawful detentions. This includes: 1. Demanding full transparency from any federal, state, or local agency involved. 2. Holding accountable those who have authorized or participated in these kidnappings. 3. Ensuring the immediate release of any individuals unlawfully detained and guaranteeing their safety. 4. Strengthening oversight and accountability to prevent any recurrence of such gross violations of human rights and constitutional protections. This practice is not only a stain on our values but a direct threat to the civil liberties of every person residing in this country. We must act swiftly to put an end to this disgraceful behavior. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to seeing your leadership in defending our Constitution and the fundamental rights it guarantees.
