John,
Donald Trump’s plan to deploy the U.S. military for mass deportations is not only reckless but a betrayal of the principles that define America. Even Republican Senator Rand Paul has denounced the idea, calling it a “huge mistake” and a blatant misuse of our military.
Think about it: soldiers in uniform marching into cities, tasked with rounding up immigrants—including people who’ve built their lives here for decades, contributed to their communities, and raised families. It’s a dystopian image straight out of a nightmare, and one that has no place in a free and democratic society.
For over 100 years, it’s been illegal to use the military in domestic law enforcement, and for good reason. America’s armed forces are meant to defend our country—not to police it. Deploying them in this way sets a chilling precedent and tarnishes their honor. It’s a gross overreach of executive power and a direct attack on the values of liberty and justice.
Even Paul, a conservative and sometimes Trump ally, is warning against this disastrous plan. “I don’t see the military putting [a housekeeper] in handcuffs and marching her down the street to an encampment,” he said. And yet, that’s exactly the kind of scene Trump is pushing for.
This is about more than just policy—it’s about who we are as a nation. Using the military to target undocumented immigrants is a dangerous step toward authoritarianism. It erodes trust, divides communities, and sets the stage for widespread fear and abuse.
The fight to stop this starts now. It’s time to stand up for American values—compassion, fairness, and the belief that everyone deserves a shot at the American dream. Together, we must resist these draconian measures and ensure that no president uses our armed forces to carry out their personal vendettas.
Let’s make our voices heard. Let’s fight for the America we believe in.
Our most powerful weapon right now is our microphone, so we need to use platforms around the country to hold MAGA accountable! Join us in our fight today.
