Demand Accountability for the Attacks Against Ilhan Omar

To: Rep. Balint, Sen. Welch, Sen. Sanders

From: A verified voter in White River Junction, VT

October 15

I am sure that you all know about the Department of Justice's racist attacks against Ilhan Omar, and their threats to try and strip her of her citizenship. I am furious about this, and I want to see accountability for this sham of an investigation. We should be seeing Congressional hearings demanding explanations, Stephen Miller and Todd Blanche should be apologizing to the Press and Ms Omar directly, and the Trump Administration should be censured or removed from office for allowing this to happen. Even putting aside the obviously fake charges they're "Investigating", this is an unprecedented and disgusting violation of her right to Freedom of Speech, and an attempt to intimidate political opposition. For my own part, I am also terrified of the implications for me, a US citizen naturalized the same way she was naturalized, if they manage to strip her of her citizenship. I would say that this is beneath the US Government, but we did re-elect Donald Trump.
