An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Protect American citizens before a Fascist state is founded.

I, my friends and family are all natural born American citizens. We are deeply alarmed by recent policy proposals and actions suggesting that U.S. citizens could be deported. Doing such a thing is legally impossible under the Constitution of the United States, Even discussing deporting citizens is deeply un-American and disturbingly authoritarian.The very idea of deporting American citizens is antithetical to the foundations of our democracy. It evokes the dark hallmarks of fascist regimes—where governments used fear, ethnic scapegoating, and political repression to consolidate power. This is not the America generations of patriots have fought and died for. You must publicly disavow any such rhetoric or . And take actions to protect citizens and reaffirm your commitment to the Constitution, due process, and the rights of all citizens. We must stand together, not as partisans but as Americans, to reject the dangerous normalization of authoritarian ideas. The strength of our nation lies in our freedoms, not in fear. I appreciate your attention and look forward to seeing you speak out in defense of our shared democratic values. Make no mistake: as Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson recently warned, if the Trump administration can take noncitizens off the streets, send them to prison in another country, and then claim it is helpless to correct the error either because the person is out of reach of U.S. jurisdiction or anything else it could do the same thing to citizens. It certainly endangers politicians like you or anyone it disagrees with.
