An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Uphold democracy: Respect judicial rulings, Constitutional rights

25 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

The recent deportations of Venezuelans to El Salvador, despite a court order blocking them, raise serious concerns about abuse of executive power and disregard for the rule of law. No one, including the president, is above the law in a functioning democracy. Invoking an archaic wartime act to deport people without due process violates constitutional rights and undermines democratic institutions. This disturbing action demands accountability to uphold the checks and balances vital to preserving justice and freedom. Unchecked overreach by the executive branch jeopardizes the founding principles the nation was built upon. Preserving the integrity of the judiciary and respecting court rulings is essential for maintaining a government of laws, not individuals. Urgent corrective action is needed to reassert that no person or branch holds unlimited power in defiance of judicial orders and constitutional constraints. Democracy itself is at stake when the president acts as if exempt from legal oversight. Reasserting democratic norms through impeachment proceedings is necessary to reaffirm that America remains a nation of laws applicable to all.
