Trump is battling the courts so he can deploy armed National Guard troops
to Portland.^1 It could lead to a constitutional crisis and the further
spread of Trump's armed military terror.
On Monday, Trump even threatened to use the Insurrection Act to defy court
orders and send soldiers to even more American cities.^2 His relentless
push to militarize America pairs with his recent shocking national
security memo (NSPM-7) that empowers the FBI and DOJ to go after people
and organizations that oppose his agenda.^3 Gov. Gavin Newsom sounded the
alarm saying, "America is on the brink of martial law."^4
Congress must take a stand and stop Trump's military takeover. Democracy
and the rule of law are on the line.

The Insurrection Act gives the White House extraordinary discretion to
declare that a domestic "insurrection" is underway and to deploy U.S.
military forces against the American people. The Brennan Center for
Justice said the law "has not been meaningfully updated in over 150 years,
[and] is dangerously overbroad and ripe for abuse."^5
Trump's NSPM-7 is equally as broad. The directive allows Kash Patel, Pam
Bondi, and Stephen Miller to target and persecute anyone who they decide
holds "anti-American" beliefs or "extreme" views on race, gender, or
immigration.^6
J.B. Pritzker echoed Gov. Newsom's urgent calls saying, "We must now start
calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion."^7 Congress must find the
courage and political will to end Trump's troop takeover.
