I am writing to demand an immediate investigation into a dangerous and accelerating abuse of power by the DOJ and the FBI. Over the past several months, federal agencies have launched aggressive operations that cross the line from appropriate law enforcement into the deliberate intimidation, harassment, and surveillance of everyday Americans. This hostility is showing up in a clear, coordinated nationwide pattern of a federal campaign designed to crush dissent and interfere in local civic life: - Criminalizing Community Observers: The DOJ indicted fifteen community members in Minneapolis under the guise of an "immigration obstruction" conspiracy. Armed with private Signal chat logs and aggressive surveillance, federal prosecutors are actively criminalizing peaceful citizens operating as legal observers. - Harassing Voter Registration Groups: The FBI conducted hostile raids on the Ohio Organizing Collaborative under a voter fraud probe. Agents engaged in heavy-handed surveillance of staff and their families, explicitly designed to intimidate and disrupt local voter registration efforts. - Intimidating Election Workers: in Fulton County, GA, federal authorities issued sweeping grand jury subpoenas demanding the personal data of thousands of election workers, launching a massive intimidation campaign against ordinary citizens managing local elections. Whether you lean left, right, or center, these hostile tactics should infuriate every American who believes in the Constitution. It is completely intolerable for the federal government to weaponize digital surveillance and sweeping federal power to bypass local authorities, terrorize families, and chill ordinary citizens from exercising their First Amendment rights. Beyond the constitutional crisis, we must look at the human cost. These are everyday Americans who were engaged in perfectly lawful, civic activities. Now, they are forced to drain their savings to hire attorneys and upend their family life just to defend themselves against the bottomless pockets of the federal government. Forcing innocent citizens into financial ruin under the guise of baseless investigations is an absolute corruption of justice. As my elected representative, I urge you to stand up for constitutional guardrails and take immediate action: 1. Demand Oversight Hearings: Publicly call on the House and Senate Judiciary Committees to launch immediate oversight hearings into the weaponization of federal law enforcement against civic organizations, election workers, and community groups. 2. Investigate Surveillance Abuses: Initiate a formal inquiry into how federal law enforcement is utilizing its budget to infiltrate and monitor private, encrypted community communications. 3. Protect Civic Engagement: Introduce legislative guardrails to ensure federal law enforcement cannot be deployed to harass lawful voter registration groups, target local poll workers, or intimidate law-abiding citizens. Federal law enforcement must not be used as a political tool to terrorize law-abiding citizens. I look forward to your prompt response detailing the specific actions you will take on this matter.
