Dear Senator [Last Name],
I am writing as a concerned constituent to express my strong opposition to the Trump administration’s proposal to detain migrants at Guantánamo Bay. This facility has a well-documented history of human rights abuses and indefinite detention, making it wholly inappropriate for housing individuals seeking safety and due process.
Expanding immigration detention—especially at a site notorious for mistreatment—would not only violate fundamental human rights but also set a dangerous precedent. There are already nearly 40,000 people held in immigration detention under inhumane conditions, and increasing this number to over 120,000 would be an unconscionable step backward. Rather than doubling down on mass incarceration, we should be investing in humane, community-based alternatives that respect due process and dignity.
I urge you to take a firm stand against this reckless plan and push for policies that uphold our nation’s values of justice and fairness. Please let me know how you intend to oppose this proposal and advocate for a more just immigration system.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
