John,

I just left the courthouse where I pleaded not guilty to the Trump administration’s baseless criminal charges against me.

They are continuing to try to intimidate me, exhaust me, drain my resources and stop me from doing the work I was elected to do. Well, they won’t. I will not fold.

Let me be clear: under the law, members of Congress are explicitly authorized to conduct oversight at ICE facilities. I was there to do my job and make sure that this administration wasn’t violating people’s rights.

Then, this administration decided to come after me because I dared to stand against their cruel agenda. I will not bow down to the Trump administration, but I need your help.

Please split a donation between me and Defend Our Courts today to help me fight back against this baseless attack. We need another 4,219 donations before midnight to help amass the resources to win in court and send a message that Democrats won’t back down.

Trump and his allies didn’t stop with me. You’ve seen it, John. This administration is attacking public servants nationwide for using their voices to speak out against this overreach.

This is the authoritarian playbook and we must stand united against it. Will you donate whatever you can now and take a stand for our democracy?

What we do in this moment matters.

We’re in this together,

Rep. LaMonica McIver
