John,
Donald Trump is sending ICE and the National Guard to invade blue cities across the country, terrorizing our communities and violating our rights.
In the last few weeks, we’ve witnessed masked agents breaking windows to pull people out of their cars, rounding up and zip-tying children in the middle of the night, destroying people’s homes and personal property, violently assaulting and arresting immigrants and protesters, and detaining people (including those with documentation and even U.S. citizenship) for hours on end.
The fascist in chief has already militarized Los Angeles, Washington, and Chicago, and is trying to deploy troops to Memphis and Portland as we speak — all under the guise of cracking down on crime and fighting so-called “domestic terrorism.”
But a federal judge just blocked Trump from sending the military to Portland for the second time, after he tried defying the original order by directing California and Texas to federalize and deploy their National Guard members there.
As Justice Democrats’ Rep. Pramila Jayapal, said:
We need EVERY Democrat to speak out and fight this hard against Trump’s fascism, especially as he and white nationalist Stephen Miller fan the flames of fear and hatred against immigrants, judges, and peaceful protesters.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
