I’m writing for a few reasons today: First, there are two bills that recently passed in the House that I want the Senator to oppose. The first is H.R. 1526, the NORRA Act. This bill severely restricts federal judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions—a crucial tool courts use to block illegal or unconstitutional executive actions. The second is HR 22, the SAVE Act, a voter suppression bill that would disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans. I want to say a couple more things: Donald Trump’s executive order assailing Act Blue is deeply alarming. This shouldn’t happen in a democracy. Trump is weaponizing the DOJ to attack the infrastructure of the opposing party—that’s an authoritarian act, and an abuse of power. Has the Senator spoken out against it? I’d like them to. Finally, I understand the FBI has arrested a Milwaukee judge and charged her with obstructing an immigration arrest because she allowed an undocumented person to leave her courtroom. What is happening in this country?! The Trump administration is turning this into a police state. They’re going too far. I want the Senator to call for the charges against this judge to be dropped at once. Thanks.
