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

Focus on Real Threats, Not Students. China Just Tried to Smuggle Bioweapons

24 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Today’s arrest of two Chinese nationals attempting to smuggle a suspected biological pathogen into the U.S. highlights the real threats we face. Yet, our government focuses on deporting international students and law-abiding immigrants while dismantling the infrastructure meant to keep Americans safe. Biological weapon smuggling could devastate cities and healthcare systems, resulting in widespread loss of life. Meanwhile, the Trump administration weakens intelligence agencies by replacing experts with loyalists, leaving us less capable of preventing major attacks. We’ve lost our focus, generating fear about immigrants while real threats go unchecked. A nation that fears its own students while ignoring state-sponsored sabotage is vulnerable. It's time to demand a reset. Restore independent intelligence and science-based leadership, and focus on those who seek to harm us. America deserves better. Act now.
