Target: U.S. Congress, Department of Justice, and Department of Homeland Security
Goal: We urge Congress and federal authorities to respect local autonomy, restore democratic oversight, and ensure that all decisions about security and immigration enforcement are made transparently and lawfully.
President Trump's unilateral takeover of security in Washington, D.C., and the appointment of the DEA administrator as 'emergency police chief'—despite objections from city leaders—sets a dangerous precedent for federal overreach. Such actions threaten the democratic rights of D.C. residents and undermine the principle of local self-governance. Additionally, the exclusion of Ukraine's President Zelenskyy from critical international talks contradicts the commitment to 'nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine,' weakening global democracy and solidarity. We call on federal authorities to immediately restore lawful, democratic oversight in D.C. and to ensure that all security and immigration enforcement actions are conducted with transparency, accountability, and respect for human rights.
Key Demands
- Restore local control over Washington, D.C.'s police and security operations.
- Rescind the appointment of the DEA administrator as 'emergency police chief' without local consent.
- Ensure all security and immigration enforcement actions in D.C. comply with constitutional and legal standards.
- Commit to transparency and democratic oversight in all federal interventions affecting local jurisdictions.
- Advocate for inclusive international diplomacy that respects the voices of all affected parties, including Ukraine.
