An open letter to the U.S. Congress

DOJ Is Not a Weapon—Restore Its Integrity

13 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

The Department of Justice is being dismantled from the inside out. Since returning to office in 2025, President Trump has taken steps that politicize the DOJ, compromise its independence, and erode public trust in equal justice under the law. These are not partisan concerns—they are constitutional ones, and they should alarm every American. The appointment of political allies like Pam Bondi as Attorney General and Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for D.C. has turned critical federal roles into loyalty posts. Meanwhile, the administration has weaponized DOJ resources to investigate perceived enemies, including journalists, former prosecutors, and political opponents (Politico, May 2025). This is a deliberate attempt to turn the department from an impartial enforcer of law into a tool of executive retribution. The DOJ was never meant to serve the presidency—it exists to serve the people. I urge you to take immediate action: demand hearings, impose guardrails, and introduce legislation to restore checks on executive power. The rule of law cannot survive if justice is only applied to some.
