John,

Donald Trump and his far-right administration have deployed the National
Guard and taken control over Washington, DC’s metropolitan police, all in
the name of cracking down on violent crime, which is at a 30-year low for
the district.

[ [link removed] ]A post on X from Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib: Trump sending in the U.S.
military to take over our nation's capital is a test run to target other
major cities. This is the work of an authoritarian, deploying the National
Guard to silence dissent in D.C. and militarize Black neighborhoods. We
cannot normalize this.

With the heightened military presence, community members are being
subjected to random traffic stops, with multiple videos taken of masked,
armed ICE agents terrorizing neighborhoods and violently disappearing
people like food delivery workers just trying to do their jobs.

As part of this crackdown, Trump cruelly plans to round up unhoused people
across the district and put them in jail if they have nowhere else to go.

[ [link removed] ]A post on X from Rep. Ilhan Omar: Trump’s plan to round up unhoused
people and jail them for being poor is beyond cruel. The answer to
homelessness is more affordable housing and community resources, not
military crackdowns.

This is what fascism looks like,
John. Trump’s military takeover of DC is an
authoritarian show of force, and he’s already suggested doing it to other
major U.S. cities.

Everyday people in DC are being attacked and snatched up by gangs of
alleged officers with no uniforms, explanation, justification, or due
process. This is lawlessness.

This is a naked power grab to make Americans afraid of their own
government & distract from the real crimes happening in DC — Republicans
in Congress trying to cover up everything from the Epstein files to their
own legislation which would kick nearly 20 million people off their health
insurance to pay for billionaires’ trillion dollar tax cut.

We cannot and will not let this wannabe dictator use fear-mongering around
crime and immigrants to take over our cities. Justice Democrats like
Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are loudly speaking out and fighting back,
but the Democratic establishment — including DC’s own mayor — is not doing
enough to stop this.

[ [link removed] ]Help us re-elect our bold, progressive incumbents and send more Justice
Democrats to Congress in 2026 to fight this fascism with the urgency and
strength it deserves: pitch in $5 or more to fuel our work.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
