Military Policing on U.S. Soil

Trump has declared the southern border a military installation to bypass the law. Please contact members of Congress. Tell them you want them to act. Here’s a script and phone numbers:

“My name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I am tired of President Trump declaring a fraudulent emergency every time he wants to violate or skirt the law.

He did that to send prisoners to El Salvador without due process. He did that to increase unnecessary oil drilling. And now he has declared a 60-foot strip of land around our three southern states at the Mexican border to be a military installation where anyone can be arrested for trespassing. We have a Posse Comitatus Act to prevent the military from policing civilians. He is turning the U.S. military into a force against U.S. citizens — and it has to stop.

I want [REP/SEN NAME] to enact legislation, like Rep. Andy Biggs’ H.R. 125, the Limiting Emergency Powers Act, that cancels any presidentially declared emergency in 30 days unless Congress approves it. This is not a perfect solution but it is a start. I want you to start now.”
