Denounce any suggestion of invoking the Insurrection Act

I am writing to you with profound alarm regarding President Trump’s recent statements suggesting the use of the Insurrection Act for domestic purposes. The deployment of U.S. military forces for civil law enforcement would be an act of constitutional crisis. As you know, crossing this line fundamentally alters the relationship between the government and its citizens, establishing a dangerous precedent from which it may be impossible to return to normal, constitutional governance. I urge you, as my representative in the Maine delegation, to publicly and unequivocally denounce any suggestion of invoking the Insurrection Act. Your leadership is vital in safeguarding our civil liberties and demanding that the separation of powers and the rule of law be upheld. The integrity of our democratic institutions is at stake. I expect you to use the full weight of your offices to ensure that this action is never taken.
