Our Republican friends are fond of the old libertarian battle cry “Don’t Tread On Me”. You may have seen it on one or two bumper stickers over the past few years.

It’s supposed to mean that, in the USA, we have individual liberties that the government can’t walk all over – that government can’t use its power to get between citizens and their civil liberties.

Sometimes they might take this imagery and thinking a little too far – but there’s a point in there that we can all get behind. No citizen should fear their government. That’s why I’m co-sponsoring two pieces of legislation currently before the House: 1) to demand federal accountability in DHS and ICE enforcement and withholding appropriations until reforms are enacted, and 2) another piece of legislation prohibiting state dollars from being spent on immigration enforcement.

Well I’m not sure if our libertarian friends have been paying attention lately – but the guy in the White House is TREADING. He is treading all over civil rights and constitutional norms every day, and there is no more horrific example than what his storm troopers with ICE are doing in Minneapolis across the country. They are out there detaining and MURDERING U.S. CITIZENS. This is authoritarian brutality at its worst.

So I don’t want to hear any more self-righteous speeches about freedom, the 2nd Amendment, or anything from the “Don’t Tread On Me” crowd until they disavow this disgusting conduct. Immediately.

Make no mistake – through their illegal police state behavior – Donald Trump and ICE are treading over all of this. This cannot stand.

Sincerely,

MK
