Breaking news, John:
Justice Democrats incumbents Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, Ilhan Omar,
and Summer Lee are putting pressure on President Biden to explain why his
administration deployed U.S. troops to Israel without congressional
authorization.
[ [link removed] ]Prem Thakker: NEW—Reps. Rashida Tlaib & Cori Bush are pressing Biden to
explain unauthorized involvement of US armed forces in Israel's military
activity. They warn a member can force a vote to remove troops from the
region. André Carson, Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee joined.
Our progressive champions for peace are leading the way on this issue once
again by holding this administration accountable for ignoring the law and
continuing to enable right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu’s genocide against Palestinians.
Despite the War Powers Resolution of 1973 requiring Congressional approval
to send troops to war, President Biden has provided Israel with U.S.
soldiers on the ground, as well as billions of dollars worth of weapons
and bombs used to carry out war crimes, all while Israel has largely
blocked food and other humanitarian aid from reaching Palestinians in need
— which violates federal and international law.
In their letter to the President, Rashida, Cori, Ilhan, and Summer made it
clear that he “cannot continue to ignore the law without Congressional
intervention,” and warned that a member of Congress can introduce a
resolution and force a vote to remove U.S. forces from Israel.

From introducing the ceasefire resolution last year to sending this letter
to President Biden, Justice Democrats members are giving it all they’ve
got to end the genocide, bring home the hostages, and promote peace
instead of violent escalation in the Middle East.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
