⸻ You now face a stark choice: defend the constitutional limits on executive power, or stand by while the Trump administration tears them down. I demand you take immediate action to stop the illegal, unconstitutional, and tyrannical use of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the reckless federalization of U.S. military forces. These actions are a direct attack on our constitutional order. ICE is now a rogue force: • Masked, unmarked agents operate without ID. • Children as young as six are zip-tied and forcibly separated. • Innocent people are abducted into unmarked vans at public events. • Agents impersonate local police, violating due process. • The media is threatened with deportation for reporting on abuses. These practices violate the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. They are authoritarian tactics meant to instill fear. Trump’s federalization of the California National Guard under Title 10—without Governor consent and without lawful cause—is an abuse of power: • Title 10 does not authorize military forces as domestic law enforcement. • This bypasses states and legal oversight, undermining sovereignty and setting a dangerous precedent. The unlawful use of military forces against U.S. civilians must be condemned and stopped. Even more disturbing is extremist infiltration of ICE operations: • Proud Boys affiliates—convicted of seditious conspiracy for the January 6th attack—are visibly supporting ICE actions. • Private militias like Arizona Border Recon and Veterans on Patrol work alongside ICE with tacit federal approval. • These forces promote a white supremacist, Christian nationalist, anti-democratic agenda under federal cover. This is a national security crisis and an existential threat to democracy. Every day these abuses go unchallenged, they set precedent. If you fail to act now, the reckless use of ICE and military forces will be normalized—and future administrations will wield these tools with even fewer restraints. This is not an immigration issue. It is not a partisan issue. It is a constitutional emergency. ICE’s abuses and Title 10 federalization bypass Congress, the states, and the courts. If you remain silent, you will share responsibility for dismantling constitutional government and empowering extremists. I demand that you: • Condemn Trump’s unconstitutional use of ICE and military forces. • Halt National Guard deployments without state consent. • Investigate ICE’s extremist affiliations and unlawful tactics. • Support legislation to prohibit militia involvement in federal enforcement and rein in ICE abuses. • Ensure transparency: no federal agent should operate without proper ID and legal authority. This is a moment of truth. If you will not defend the Constitution now, when will you? History is watching. Your constituents are watching. The Republic is watching. Act now—or be remembered as collaborators with tyranny.
