Subject: Urgent Concerns Regarding Immigration Practices and Government Appointments

Dear All

I am writing as a concerned constituent from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to express my deep apprehension over two pressing issues that have recently come to light.

1. Proposed Deportations to Libya:

Recent reports indicate that migrants detained in Pearsall, Texas, were informed of impending deportations to Libya—a nation currently grappling with severe instability and documented human rights abuses. Alarmingly, some detainees were coerced into signing deportation forms under duress and without adequate understanding, leading to instances of solitary confinement when they resisted. Such actions not only contravene basic human rights but also violate international laws against refoulement, which prohibit returning individuals to countries where they may face persecution or torture.

2. Appointment of Media Personalities to Government Positions:

The trend of appointing former media figures, particularly from Fox News, to significant governmental roles is deeply concerning. Notably:

    Jeanine Pirro, a former Fox News host, has been appointed as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

    Pete Hegseth, previously a Fox News host, now serves as Secretary of Defense.

    Sean Duffy, another former Fox News contributor, holds the position of Transportation Secretary.

While media experience can offer valuable communication skills, the appointment of individuals without substantial policy or administrative backgrounds to critical positions raises questions about the qualifications and motivations behind such choices. The blending of media influence with governance risks undermining the objectivity and effectiveness of our institutions.     I voted for ALL of you and I want you to MAKE SOME NOISE about these issues!   Thank You
