Let me be clear: I will not be intimidated.

Justice Democrats

John, I went on CNN to tell the truth about ICE: They’re acting like a terrorist force, with masked men jumping out of unmarked cars to kidnap, detain, and disappear people without explanation.

It’s unconstitutional, illegal, and they’re terrorizing innocent people.

What I said is the truth, and it clearly struck a nerve. Because now the White House is calling me “deranged” for standing up for immigrants:

CNN graphic showing the White House and a quote from White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson. The quote reads: 'Dangerous smears by deranged leftists like Jayapal radicalize their supporters to violently attack and obstruct federal law enforcement...' The lower banner says: 'IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN: WHITE HOUSE BLASTS 'DISGUSTING COMMENTS' FROM REP. JAYAPAL ON ICE.'

Let me be clear: I will not be intimidated, and I am never going to stop fighting for the rights and dignity of every person, everywhere, regardless of their immigration status.

The White House can come after me all they want, but if they don’t want ICE to be compared to a terrorist force, they should stop acting like one. Period.

Republicans are trying to silence me, but with your support, they won’t succeed. Will you split a donation between me and Justice Democrats now to help me keep standing up against Trump’s radical right-wing immigration policy?
