Stop Trump’s Police State Power Grab Now

Stop Trump’s Unconstitutional Police State Executive Order Donald Trump’s April 28, 2025 Executive Order titled “Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement” is a direct threat to the Constitution, civil rights, and public safety. This order is not about law and order — it’s about authoritarian control. It violates: • The 10th Amendment by threatening to prosecute state and local officials for adopting community-led policing reforms. • The 1st Amendment by punishing speech and policies supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion. • The 14th Amendment by targeting lawful efforts to remedy systemic inequality under the guise of fighting “DEI.” • The Posse Comitatus Act by militarizing local police with Department of Defense assets and training — blurring the line between civilian law enforcement and the military. • Separation of powers by instructing the DOJ to override court-enforced consent decrees with police departments found guilty of civil rights abuses. • Due process and equal protection by authorizing vague, sweeping federal retaliation against local leaders and programs the administration disagrees with. This is a blueprint for a federalized police state and a return to abusive, unaccountable policing — especially targeting communities of color, civil rights activists, and anyone who dares dissent. I urge you to: • Publicly condemn this Executive Order. • Demand congressional oversight hearings immediately. • Introduce legislation to reinforce local authority, protect civil rights, and block the misuse of military resources against civilians. • Call on the Department of Justice to reject this unlawful overreach and protect judicial independence. History will remember who stood up — or stayed silent — in the face of creeping authoritarianism. Stand up now.
