This is a Constitutional Crisis

To: Rep. Pallone, Sen. Booker, Sen. Kim

From: A constituent in Fords, NJ

April 15

I am deeply concerned about the administration's continued arrest and deportation of legal residents without due process. The recent noncompliance with the Supreme Court ruling takes us one step closer to all-out authoritarian rule. We are a nation of laws. On April 10, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously found Abrego Garcia's removal to El Salvador to be illega. The court rejected the administration's defense that they had no jurisdiction over El Salvador to bring him back, with Justice Sotomayor noting that the argument implied the government "could deport and incarcerate any person, including U.S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene." I implore you to use the power of your office to stand firm against Mr. Trump's actions. He has repeatedly flouted the law and demonstrated his unfitness for office. Congress has the power to check executive authority and can remove an executive from office. Please act on behalf of the people you serve.
