Dear John,

Eric Swalwell and I are writing because what's happening right now is unconscionable—4-year-olds deported. U.S. Marshals and Senator Padilla detained.

If even one of these things had happened before Donald Trump's presidency, the DHS secretary in charge would have been forced to resign or even impeached. Today? It feels like just another headline. Meanwhile, Kristi Noem is being “praised” for a mass-terror campaign that targets grandmas, toddlers, and, most recently, DACA recipients.

This isn't just un-American—it's inhumane. It's a horror show, and we refuse to stand by quietly.

We are committed to holding those responsible accountable every single day until the midterm elections. That's why we're asking for your support. Will you chip in and help us fight back?

We have to stand up and say: Enough. Flipping the House is one of our most powerful ways to stop this cruelty and hold leaders like Kristi Noem accountable. The road is long, but together, we can make a difference.

With gratitude,
Democracy Defense Action & Eric Swalwell
