Jason,

This week, The New Yorker published an article that lays out why the Trump administration is targeting me for doing my job to hold ICE accountable by conducting oversight.

The administration thinks they can make an example of me by draining my financial resources so that nobody stands up to their bullying tactics in the future.

Look what The New Yorker said:

That's why I'm reaching out with an urgent request. We need to raise another $19,418 by the end of this week to keep pace as the Trump administration continues to target me for doing my job. Can I count on you to pitch in by splitting a contribution between Congresswoman Nikema Williams and myself?

The New Yorker laid it out plainly: In the months since my case began, the President's taunts on social media have brought Fox News coverage, death threats, and a motion by House Republicans to censure me on the House floor. The Trump administration will do anything to silence me.

What happens here will shape the future of democracy — whether oversight remains protected, or becomes criminalized.

Please stand with me by splitting a contribution to Congresswoman Nikema and myself to ensure I have what it takes to fight back and win.

With gratitude and resolve,
