John,

Donald Trump is manufacturing a crisis here in California.

First, ICE agents indiscriminately grabbed people and detained them in
basements for days without food and water.

ICE agents and other federal authorities must follow the law. They should
not be denying people due process and access to counsel, but that’s what
we are seeing not just in California, but around the country. This isn’t a
matter of right or left, denying people of their rights violates the
Constitution.

When people came out to protest these unlawful detentions and cruel
treatment, Trump went after peaceful protestors, escalating the conflict
and seizing a state’s National Guard for the first time since the 1960s.
His goal is to sow division, unrest and violence. Federal agents even
arrested David Huerta—the leader of the Service Employees International
Union in California, while David was peacefully protesting.

Californians and all Americans no matter their politics have a right to
protest. For those of you who are, stay peaceful: do not give Trump the
chaos he wants.

Now Trump is threatening to arrest Governor Newsom. He’s even calling in
more and more military personnel.

Trump is acting like a dictator; trying to create conditions that will
allow him to take more control.

Speak out. Show up. And do so peacefully. The future of our country and
our democracy depends on all of us.

—Katie
