Federal authority is not a “favor!” It’s an endangerment to the American public

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

From: A verified voter in Budd Lake, NJ

April 7

Explain—immediately—under what authority private security personnel tied to Elon Musk are being treated as federal agents. Who authorized this? What statutes were cited? What vetting, training, or legal accountability mechanisms were applied—if any? Because deputizing untrained, privately loyal bodyguards to operate with the appearance or power of federal authority is not innovation. It is a reckless collapse of the line between public law enforcement and private power. Federal authority is not a favor to be handed out. It carries constitutional limits, use-of-force standards, and public accountability. Bypassing those safeguards endangers civil liberties and invites abuse. If this is happening, it is a scandal. If you allow it to continue, it becomes your failure. Produce answers. Now. —A constituent demanding oversight
