Immediate Accountability for Federal Attacks on Journalists

To: Sen. Fetterman, Sen. McCormick, Rep. Dean

From: A constituent in Conshohocken, PA

February 1

I am demanding immediate congressional action in response to DOJ and ICE violations of the First Amendment, including the arrest of journalists such as Don Lemon and Georgia Fort and the assault and detention of clearly identified reporters covering protests. Targeting journalists for doing their jobs is unconstitutional, authoritarian, and unacceptable. Congress must conduct public investigations, hold hearings, and impose consequences on those responsible. A failure to act makes you complicit in the erosion of press freedom and democratic norms. I expect you to defend the Constitution, not remain silent while it is violated.
