Target: U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Trump Administration
Goal: We call on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Trump administration to immediately release all records and communications related to the deployment of Border Patrol agents at the August 14th event in Los Angeles.
On August 14, 2024, a significant show of force by Border Patrol agents occurred outside the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, coinciding with a news conference led by Governor Gavin Newsom and other California Democrats. The event was focused on launching a campaign to redraw California's congressional maps, a move aimed at ensuring fair representation and protecting democratic processes.
Such a deployment of federal agents at a peaceful political event raises serious questions about the use of government resources to intimidate or influence political activities. Governor Newsom has already filed a formal request for information, but the public deserves full transparency regarding the motivations and communications behind this operation.
We demand that the Department of Homeland Security and the Trump administration provide all relevant records and communications to ensure accountability, uphold democratic norms, and prevent the misuse of federal power for political purposes.
