Dear Colleagues,

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the risks that it presents to the detained in particular, several colleagues and I have written an open letter to the Department of Homeland Security urging the release of immigrant detainees. (As you are likely aware, several courts have already issued orders to release detainees in light of the actual or future outbreak of the virus in immigration detention facilities.)

We welcome your signature, and we would be grateful if you would distribute the link below and the attached letter to your colleagues & networks.

We would like all signatures by midnight EST on Friday, April 17 so that we can distribute the letter to DHS, ICE, and CBP on Monday, April 20.

Letter 
Signature form 

Please note that this letter is intended to be signed by professors, researchers, and educators affiliated with a law school based in the United States.

Kind regards
Priya Gupta, Professor of Law, Southwestern Law School
