This headline is terrifying:
“Trump suggests he'll send federal agents to other major US cities, saying they've done a 'fantastic job' in Portland”

After deploying unmarked paramilitary forces to protests in Portland, Donald Trump has promised to send more to other cities. Once detained, protestors are being thrown into unmarked vans without explanation. Moms and veterans and teachers and too many more are now being tear gassed and attacked while peacefully protesting the Trump Administration’s violations of American and human rights on the streets of Portland.
Americans have the right to peacefully protest against racism and injustice. And we have the right to do this without fear of being attacked or arrested without cause.
The Trump Administration has - once again - gone too far, and it must stop -- So we’re asking 100,000 people to speak out and say they’ve had ENOUGH of Trump’s police state tactics →
This is unacceptable. We need 100,000 Americans to speak out against his unconscionable actions towards peaceful protestors and demand these actions to END his secret police force:
- Require federal agents and the agency they work for to be clearly identifiable
- Prohibit the federal misuse of unmarked vehicles.
- Prohibit federal agents from patrolling city streets, outside of federal property, unless invited to do so by local authorities.
- Require agencies to disclose how many personnel have been deployed and for what mission when they’re sent into our cities.
Will you stand with us? Sign on to Tell Trump: Your authoritarianism has no place in America →
Thank you. It means a lot.
