John – With Trump planning to bring his immigration assault to Chicago, I’m completely horrified by this latest reckless and unacceptable authoritarian tactic. Look, I'm an immigrant. My children are first generation Americans. When I see innocent, hardworking people being violently detained and uprooted from their communities – all to serve Trump’s sick political agenda – I know I can’t sit back. Trump’s latest plan to stage increasingly militarized mass immigration raids here in Illinois is completely unacceptable, John. We’re seeing scenes straight out of the authoritarian playbook: Masked immigration agents in plain clothes abducting our neighbors from public spaces. Military bases used as inhumane detention centers. American citizens and legal residents swept up and even deported. Flagrant violations of constitutionally protected rights. The military deployed in the streets of major cities. Donald Trump may be willing to trample on the Constitution, but the people of Illinois never will — and neither will I. That’s why I’ve been putting it all on the line to stop these unlawful, unjust, and un-American tactics. But when I tried to fulfill my legal right to visit ICE facilities, I was evicted after a masked ICE agent called the police. The MAGA loyalists in the White House and Senate have made clear they have zero respect for Democracy, the law, or the basic rights of our neighbors. Look, if I've learned anything in my life as an immigrant in this country, it’s that success comes from translating our anger and worry into action. That’s why I need to ask you to join this fight today:
Thank you for standing with me in this difficult moment, Raja Krishnamoorthi
