And the American Gulag
Get loud. Thanks Jess Craven:

Hi, I’m a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is ______.
I’m alarmed about what’s happening at Delaney Hall in New Jersey. Detainees are being kept in unspeakable conditions, ICE has been beating protestors outside with batons, teargassing them, and even shoving them into traffic, and Congress is doing nothing to stop it. Conditions at other detention centers are also awful. ICE and CBP need to be reined in immediately, and under no circumstances should they get more funding. The CEOs of GEO Group and Core Civic should be ordered to come to Capitol Hill and testify about conditions in their facilities, and the cruelty this administration is visiting upon immigrants needs to stop. It’s un-American, it’s economically catastrophic, and it’s morally wrong. Do something.
Also, I oppose the proposed $130 annual registration fee for EVs in the transportation bill. With Trump’s war jacking up gas prices we need to make electric vehicles more affordable, not less.

Finally, I know there is a vote is coming up in the House on a bill to send more aid to Ukraine. I want the Congressmember to vote yes. Thanks.
Unbelievably horrible. And the hypocrisy never ends. That poor lady is ostensibly being detained because of a firearm issue from years ago, and in the meantime--I just saw it on Adam Kinzinger's column--ATF officers are ignoring gun-trafficking cases to concentrate on deporting even more people!
Really effective--a gutwrenchingly visual call to action, Steve.
