Dear Representative:

What will it take for you to protect people and the constitution? Unless you act, you will be remembered with a sense of disgrace by your community and families because you failed to make simple moral decisions.

Constitution - 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments in particular.

Am tired of hearing your blank check support of ICE and CBP agents running amok unconstitutionally. God damn your claim to support veterans while not defending veterans exercising their 1st and 2nd amendment rights.

Sincerely,

John

Namby pamby non-position on ICE violence from Ryan Mackenzie

A letter to Ryan Mackenzie declaring his response to DHS violence and mismanagement as weak.

By investigation of Pretti and Good killings, you must mean a Congressional investigation.

The Senate needs to investigate the deaths and injuries surrounding ICE and CBP deployment.

People are angry about ICE's excessive violence. Investigate and re-budget.

When the State is harming people, you need to protect people. You have done nothing in response to NSPM-7. You have supported deplorable extrajudicial killings. You, belatedly, spoke out against the killings of Pretti and Good.
