An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Remove deputization of Musk’s Security Team

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The decision to deputize members of Elon Musk's private security detail by the U.S. Marshals Service raises significant concerns about the potential abuse of power and undermining of democratic principles enshrined in the Constitution. Granting private individuals the authority and legal protections typically reserved for sworn federal law enforcement officers sets a dangerous precedent and erodes the essential system of checks and balances. This unprecedented move appears to be a direct circumvention of established protocols and a blatant attempt to consolidate power around a wealthy individual with close ties to the current administration. It is imperative that we uphold the rule of law and the separation of powers to safeguard our democratic institutions from authoritarianism. As representatives of the people, it is your responsibility to take a firm stand against such actions that undermine the foundations of our democracy. I urge you to thoroughly investigate this matter, seek transparency from the relevant agencies, and take appropriate measures to ensure that the Constitution and the rights of citizens are protected. The American people deserve to have their voices heard and their democratic values upheld.
