Last week, the Trump administration violently manhandled and forcibly silenced Senator Padilla for trying to question the Secretary of Homeland Security.
I've never seen anything like this throughout my time in public office. This administration is completely out of control, using force against Members of Congress, including my own staff.
I’m fighting back against these dangerous and unconstitutional tactics, but I need you by my side. Will you add your name to demand that the Trump Administration stop this ongoing abuse of power?
Earlier this month, DHS agents stormed into my congressional office and arrested a member of my staff. They didn’t have a warrant, yet still they continued their aggressive and heavy-handed tactics and ignored legal boundaries.
Trump and his administration are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidation tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner.
They are accelerating a dangerous slide toward full-blown authoritarianism.
As a senior member of the Judiciary Committee and a leader in the House, I refuse to let this go unnoticed and unchallenged. I’m fighting back, but I need you to show that you’re with me.
Trump is trying to intimidate and silence Members of Congress and their staff, and I won’t stand for it. Incidents like this are happening across our nation, and we can’t stay quiet as this authoritarian playbook continues. Add your name to stand with me!
Thank you,
Jerry
