Last night, Donald Trump’s Department of Justice announced plans to prosecute Representative LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) after she attempted to exercise her oversight duties at an ICE detention facility in her district.
Trump continues to show he wants to be King of America by doing what he does best: punishing his perceived political enemies with invented charges to silence those serving as a check on his power.
But we the people said no to a monarchy nearly 250 years ago.
In just over 100 days, Trump’s second term has been even more brazenly defiant of the law than the first.
He and his administration are ignoring court rulings, trying to imprison members of Congress and judges who disagree with them, and disappearing and deporting Americans without due process.
These abuses of power aren't abstract threats. They directly endanger the fundamental freedoms of all Americans. If Trump can prosecute a sitting member of Congress simply for doing her job, he can—and will—do it to anyone.
