Trump's just-issued EO directing the DoD to create a specialized National Guard unit as an occupying force in D.C. deputized to carry out law enforcement is not about "public safety." This is the march to militarize America's cities, destroying and subverting democracy.

The PCJF has joined 33 other civil liberties orgs to demand US Atty for DC Ed Martin cease threatening to violate First Amendment rights and offering up the USAO in personal service to the richest man in the world.
The First Amendment permits identifying and harshly criticizing government workers, even when the world’s richest person doesn’t like it. We shouldn’t have to remind sitting U.S. attorneys of that, but here we are.
