John,

Donald Trump’s fascist government is ramping up its political attacks on pro-Palestine activists by criminalizing dissent.

Students and protesters are being disappeared and threatened with deportation simply for speaking out against the Israeli military’s genocide in Gaza – a terrifying violation of their First Amendment rights.

Activists like Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk were abducted by plainclothes ICE agents off the street and have been in detention for over a month without due process.

The administration's game plan is clear: crack down on and criminalize speech they disagree with, scaring us all into silence. It’s fascism, and it’s about time our elected officials fight back. We’re calling on Congress to:

• Immediately demand the release of detained activists like Mahmoud and Rumeysa;
• Compel the directors of the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, and Customs and Border Patrol to testify before Congress about what is happening;
• Launch an investigation into these politically motivated arrests and visa revocations.

The time for silence is over, John. Will you join us by sending a letter to your members of Congress demanding the release of illegally detained protesters and calling on the heads of DHS, ICE, and CBP to testify?

Send a Letter

Sending a letter will only take a minute and will strengthen the public pressure to urgently address this administration’s authoritarian attacks on our freedom of speech.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
