An open letter to the U.S. Congress

AMERICA IN CRISIS. AND YOU JUST WATCH

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

Are you happy with the spectacle of a judge being perp-walked for the cameras? Are you happy with the Director of the FBI posting pictures of such, in self-congratulatory terms, on social media? Are you happy with the AG promptly going on Fox News to tout the righteous mission to ferret out judges doing their jobs? This is made-for-TV justice in America right now. Are you on board for this subversion and demeaning of our justice system? Three U.S. citizen children from two different families were deported with their mothers by ICE early Friday morning. One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors, the family’s lawyer said. According to their lawyers, both families were taken into custody while attending routine check-ins this week in New Orleans as part of the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program, which allows individuals to remain in their communities while undergoing immigration proceedings. Lawyers say the families were taken to Alexandria, Louisiana, a three-hour drive from New Orleans, where they were prevented from communicating with their family members and legal representatives and then put on a flight to Honduras. Are you happy with the Trump administration snatching folks and their American children as they follow the rules we establish for them to remain in our country? If this is not entrapment of the lowest kind I don’t know what is. What happened to deporting ‘the worst of the worst’? “We lead the world because, unique among nations, we draw our people—our strength—from every country and every corner of the world. And by doing so we continuously renew and enrich our nation. While other countries cling to the stale past, here in America we breathe life into dreams. We create the future, and the world follows us into tomorrow. Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we're a nation forever young, forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the next frontier. This quality is vital to our future as a nation. If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.” Ronald Reagan could not exist in your party today. Trump may not have to worry about reelection. But GOP candidates running in 2026 sure should. We can’t take our anger out on Trump. But we sure can on them. And rest assured, right now, watching the compliant behavior from the GOP while Trump destroys the fabric of America, I’m thinking they must be tired of their jobs. You could change that. But you won’t, will you?
