Resist Federal Invasion

To: Sen. Merkley, Sen. Wyden

From: A constituent in Lake Oswego, OR

October 6, 2025

First, I’m reaching out to demand that the Senator condemn the Trump administration’s deployment of National Guard troops to American cities. Using the military to police Americans is a costly abuse of power designed to scare communities and silence dissent. It must be immediately rejected. I am also sickened and disgusted by ICE’s rampant abuse in Chicago and elsewhere. They’re zip-tying children, wrecking innocent people’s houses, arresting and detaining US citizens, shooting at journalists, sending pregnant women to the hospital…what the hell is happening in our country? I’m upset and I want it to stop. Why are we sending tens of billions of dollars to these animals while Republicans are depriving Americans of funds for healthcare? We need to defund ICE until the abuses stop. Finally, I’m appalled that Speaker Johnson won’t swear Adelita Grijalva in. Republicans can’t put off the release of the Epstein files forever, and every day they delay just makes them look more and more complicit. I expect the Senator to make a strong statement demanding that Grijalva be sworn in and the “Epstein Files Transparency Act” passed right away. Thanks.
