Immigration Detention Center

[Month XX, 2020]

Dear [Your State Senator Here],

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is [Your Name Here] and I’m a resident of [City, State here]. I am writing to firmly request the support for improvements in the overall immigration detainment process, including the facilities and their oversight, as well as medical care received while detained.

Reform is necessary to dismantle the impediments built that have made obtaining asylum nearly impossible for people fleeing violence in their home countries. Abolish ICE and eliminate shadow immigration detainment so migrant children may be allowed to be placed with a sponsor while their asylum cases are heard. Our government and justice system should not be actively taking away the unalienable right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness to asylum seekers.

Lastly, there needs to be thorough investigations by disinterested parties to figure out whether, indeed, a doctor working on behalf of the United States government has sterilized women or performed other possibly unnecessary procedures on them without their full consent. This behavior is heinous, atrocious and unforgivable! This is a violation of human rights. Those involved need to be held accountable for their crimes.

The most precious thing about the United States is that Americans believe in what our country stands for. We are willing to engage in the democratic process. It is difficult, messy, fortifying, and enlightening, and it protects our democratic ideals.

Thank you for working to protect families, human rights, and the values that are foundational to America, as well as maintaining the faith that our nation and the state of [Your State Here] has placed in you to fight for what’s right.

Respectfully,

[Your Name Here]
