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

Stop Trump's Weaponization of the DOJ Against Political Opponents

The DOJ's recent conduct demands your immediate attention and action. Federal prosecutors with expired appointments were used to subpoena New York Attorney General Letitia James's case files — not through proper legal channels, but sent directly to a political operative who had never prosecuted a single case in his life. Courts threw it out at every level. That's not law enforcement. That's a political hit job using taxpayer-funded resources. The same pattern is playing out with private data. The DOJ demanded 17 million drivers' Social Security numbers from state DMV databases, then argued in court that no judge anywhere in America had the authority to stop them. When Judge Anthony Trenga asked what they actually needed the files for, they had no answer. Their own witness admitted they already have individual lookup access. The only reason to want a master file is to search without naming a target — to surveil without accountability. Courts have held the line so far, but they can't do this alone. Congress needs to act. Demand a full investigation into the DOJ's use of prosecutorial power against political opponents, and push for enforceable limits on bulk government data collection from state databases. These aren't partisan asks — they're basic guardrails on executive power that every American should expect.
