The Killingworth Democratic Town Committee supports efforts by our U.S. senators and representatives to end the gross human rights abuses by our federal government. We are proud of the leadership our congressional delegation has shown in standing up for civil rights, human rights, and the rule of law. We urge them to continue to stand strong for the values that have made our country great.
At a minimum, to receive funding, agents of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security must wear identification, have court-ordered search warrants, and give arrestees due process. Agents must not wear masks, must not use racial profiling, and must not use lethal force. Detainees must receive adequate medical care and accommodations.
There is no justification for the current conduct of ICE and Customs and Border Control, for the racial profiling being applied, or for the incarceration under atrocious conditions of thousands of detainees. We call on Congress to put an end to these shameful practices and restore America’s honor.
