Organizational Letters to Congress

Dear Secretary Mayorkas,

Our immigrant and civil rights organizations write to draw your attention to recent policy changes and other decisions across the immigration detention system that violate the basic rights and humanity of immigrant communities, particularly people who are currently detained. We urge you to reverse these decisions and work towards fulfilling your stated commitments to dignity and humane treatment of all people, including those who immigrate to our nation. We also request an immediate engagement with agency officials to discuss these recent changes.
