An open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives
Keep Americans Safe — Stop the Trump FBI Purge!
7 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!
I am writing as someone who worries profoundly about gun violence to urge you to save the FBI from the Trump/Musk purge.
The FBI's top priorities are stopping national security threats, and the Bureau continues to play a key role in combating violent crime in large municipalities and local communities across the United States.
The FBI has been committed to working with its partners to protect schools, workplaces, houses of worship, medical facilities, transportation centers, government facilities, other public gathering sites, and communities. Shortly after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012, the FBI sought ways to better assist its law enforcement partners. The bureau works to protect our children and loved ones by preventing active shooting incidents.
Dozens of federal prosecutors and FBI officials were terminated over the past several days. On Friday, the Acting FBI Director Driscoll was ordered to provide a list of all FBI employees involved with January 6 investigations. This is unlawful.
Lawyers for current and former career employees at the Justice Department and the FBI told a top official on Sunday that the dismissals underway at the department violated the law and warned against making public the names of those who worked on cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
I expect my elected members of Congress to take immediate action to prevent a mass ousting of FBI employees who kept their oath to uphold the constitution and put their lives on the line for our nation. Please use any and all authority of Congress to stop the FBI purge. Thank you.
