[ [link removed] ]Ayanna Pressley for Congress

I recently
got back from Louisiana, where I visited the ICE detention center where
Rümeysa Öztürk — one of my constituents — and Mahmoud Khalil are being
unjustly detained.

It was a physically and emotionally grueling and depleting day. However,
it has only strengthened my resolve to fight for Mahmoud, Rümeysa, and all
who are there who question if God has forgotten about them, if the world
has forgotten about them. We will not. We cannot.

This past week has also taught me that no one is safe from Donald Trump’s
dictatorship:

First, they started going after student protestors like Rümeysa. All she
did was write an op-ed the administration didn’t like, but by making
baseless claims that she was supporting terrorists, they revoked her
student visa.

They’re also randomly abducting hundreds of Latino men. One of them is
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland dad who they admitted to deporting by
mistake.

I’m not going to mince words here: Kilmar was not just deported. He was
sent to a gulag in El Salvador.

Let me be clear. No part of this is legal.

Trump was even recently caught on a hot mic saying, “homegrowns are next.”

And when the White House Press Secretary was asked if they’ll deport
American citizens, she didn’t deny it.

Look, I’m not amplifying this to be an alarmist but, because this is not
normal.

If you’re seeing this news unfold and thinking, “Am I going crazy?” You’re
not, and we need to keep loudly objecting to this.

We need to keep calling Republicans in Congress, continuing to raise the
alarm.

Because any one of us could be next. For practicing free speech. For
reading a banned book. For having a miscarriage. For being Black. For
being gay. For being trans.

Our freedoms and our destinies are tied. We’re seeing it play out in real
time. Now’s our time to lock arms with one another and stand firm against
the cruelty of this administration.

We will leverage every single avenue and tool available to us — we will be
exhaustive.

So I am ten toes down, fighting for my district and this country every
day. You deserve someone who fights for you in Washington like you are
family — because you are.

My visit to Louisiana was not about optics, but about oversight and
accountability. We're sending a message to Donald Trump, Elon Musk and
their Republican co-conspirators that Congress is watching, and we will
not allow these abuses of power to go unchecked.
