As you should know, Kristi Nome held a press conference in Los Angeles today, saying, “We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership of this governor, and this mayor have placed on this country.” The trump administration is very clearly saying that this isn't about protests or immigration. Nome is acknowledging that the administration's goal is to remove a legally, democratically elected, independent state government over which the federal government has NO JURISDICTION. This threat of illegal actiom is brazen government overreach and clearly unconstitutional. Addotionally, removing a US Senator who clearly identified himself (don't even try to lie, it's on video) from a press conference in a public building in the state he represents is disgusting. He has every right to be there and every right to speak out against what the administration is doing in his state, without the state's request, and without invoking the insurrection act. What is your party's goal? Are you trying to create violence? Are you trying to overturn our democracy, our republic, and install a dictatorship? Are you trying to start a civil war? If you continue to trample the constitution and state sovereignty, you definitely will.
