Dear Senator / Representative --

What can Congress do to make sure ICE and DHS follow the law?

I want a legitimate answer to this question, because DHS is not following the law, and no one in Congress seems to do anything to make it stop.

I am reading the legal documents showing the 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases in Minnesota in January. Yes, you read that right. In one month, in one state, ICE has violated 96 different court orders.

The detention without lawful authority is a profound constitutional injury that unfairly falls on the heads of those who have done nothing wrong to justify it. The overwhelming majority of the hundreds seen by the Minnesota District Court have been found to be lawfully present as in the country, yet they are still detained for weeks. They are transferred to Texas within hours of their arrest, then languish there for weeks before being released.

Is the Constitution dead? What else could it mean when a federal agency can violate a court order with no consequence from Congress?

This must stop. I don't want anyone in Congress getting any rest until you fix this situation.
