Target: U.S. Congress, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security
Goal: We call on Congress and relevant federal agencies to ensure transparency, uphold democratic norms, and protect the rights of all communities affected by these unprecedented actions.
President Trump's high-stakes meeting with President Putin in Alaska is taking place without the involvement of Ukraine's leadership, undermining the principle of 'nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.' This exclusion threatens international solidarity and the security of Europe. Simultaneously, the federal government's controversial takeover of Washington, D.C.'s police department—appointing the DEA administrator as 'emergency police chief'—has sparked a legal and constitutional crisis. City leaders and legal experts warn this move lacks legal basis and may be used to target immigrants and suppress dissent.
These actions set dangerous precedents for both foreign policy and domestic governance. We must demand transparency, legal accountability, and respect for the rights of all people, including immigrants and local communities. Our democracy depends on it.
