John,
Since they took office a year ago today, the Trump Administration and Kristi Noem’s Department of Homeland Security and its untrained, masked, and violent immigration officers have terrorized and traumatized entire communities on orders from a truly lawless and morally corrupt Administration.
Their assaults came to a tragic head on January 7th in Minnesota, where agents murdered an innocent observer in cold blood.
In Minneapolis, across our country, and even here in Maine, these agents continue to indiscriminately detain immigrants and U.S. citizens, forcefully trample on First Amendment and due process rights, and cause utter chaos in our communities.
Trust me, John, I know it’s hard to feel optimistic about the future: Republicans are in control of both the House and the Senate, and given their endless capitulation to the President, no matter how illegal or immoral his actions, so Congressional Democrats have limited power to stop ICE’s operations outright.
But let me be clear: We are using every available tool at our disposal to demand accountability and oversight—forcing votes on the record, documenting abuses, and keeping public pressure on this Administration so that, when Democrats retake control of Congress, meaningful change and accountability actually happens.
But it will be a long road to November, John. Trump knows he is deeply unpopular and that a blue wave in the midterms will ruin everything his reckless regime is pushing for. From gerrymandered maps, to restricting mail in voting to packing our federal agencies with election deniers, it’s clear they won’t go down without a fight.
That’s why I need you to stand with me today, and make sure that come November, we’re prepared to take on this administration in the most important election of our lifetime. Will you chip in $10 or any amount to fuel the fight ahead?
