I am writing to express my strong disapproval of President Donald Trump’s recent decision to pardon over 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. This sweeping clemency undermines justice and sets a dangerous precedent for lawlessness and extremism in our nation.
These pardons include individuals who violently assaulted law enforcement officers, vandalized federal property, and sought to overturn a democratic election. Among those pardoned are members of extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, who were convicted of seditious conspiracy—a grave threat to our constitutional order. Such actions embolden radical ideologies and diminish public trust in the rule of law.
The January 6 attack injured over 140 officers and endangered countless lives. By pardoning these individuals, President Trump not only dismisses their crimes but also signals tolerance for political violence. This decision risks empowering extremists and perpetuating racial and ideological divisions in our country.
I urge you to stand firm in defense of truth and justice by holding President Trump accountable for his actions. Regardless of political affiliation, we must prioritize the integrity of our democracy and ensure that no one is above the law. I implore you to support measures that reaffirm our commitment to accountability and reject any attempts to normalize political violence or undermine democratic institutions.
Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. I look forward to your response and action on this issue.
