Subject: Stop Forced Transfers to Libya - Take Action Now

Dear [Representative/Senator/Official's Name],

I am writing as your constituent about the Trump administration's attempt to send migrants to Libya, a country experiencing civil war and humanitarian crisis. This is unacceptable and I expect you to act.

Let's be clear about what this is: These migrants are not Libyan nationals. Sending people from Vietnam, the Philippines, and Mexico to a dangerous third country they have no connection to isn't deportation — it's forced exile. Our own State Department warns Americans against all travel to Libya due to terrorism, kidnapping, and armed conflict.

The administration tried to bypass a federal court order by using military planes for this transfer. Without journalists exposing this plan and legal advocates filing emergency motions, these people would now be in Libya's detention facilities, which our government describes as "harsh and life-threatening."

As my representative, I expect you to:

- Publicly condemn these forced transfers to dangerous third countries

- Use your legislative and oversight powers to prevent such actions

- Ensure our immigration enforcement respects court orders and basic human rights

I am not asking for comprehensive immigration reform or open borders. I am demanding that our government follow its own laws and court orders, and not deliberately place people in harm's way.

I will be following this issue closely and expect a response outlining your specific position and actions. This will influence my voting decisions in future elections.

Not in my name,

[Your Name]

☎️ Phone Script

Hello, my name is [Your Name] and I'm a constituent from [Your City/Town]. I'm calling about the Trump administration's attempt to forcibly transfer migrants to Libya.

I'm deeply concerned that the administration tried to send people from countries like Vietnam, the Philippines, and Mexico to Libya - a country experiencing civil war where our own State Department warns Americans not to travel due to terrorism and armed conflict.

This isn't deportation - it's exile to a dangerous third country, and it violates federal court orders. It was only stopped because journalists exposed it and legal advocates took emergency action.

I expect [Representative/Senator's Name] to publicly condemn these transfers, use their oversight powers to prevent similar actions, and ensure our immigration enforcement follows the law and respects human rights.

This issue is important to me as a voter. Could you please tell me what specific actions [Representative/Senator's Name] is taking on this matter?

Thank you for your time.
