My name is Kat Abugazale.
I'm running for Congress in the 9th District of Illinois.
The Department of Justice is charging six people, including myself, with federal crimes for exercising our First Amendment rights near ICE's Broadview Processing Center.
This is a political prosecution and a gross attempt to silence dissent, a right protected under the First Amendment.
This case is a major push by the Trump administration to criminalize protest and punish anyone who speaks out against them.
That's why I'm going to fight these unjust charges, but I need your help to do it.
As I and others have exercised our First Amendment rights, ICE has hit, dragged, thrown, shot with pepper balls, and tear gassed hundreds of protesters.
simply because we had the gall to say that masked men coming into our communities, abducting our neighbors, and terrorizing us cannot be our new normal.
And because Chicago doesn't back down from bullies and masks who tear gas our neighborhoods, this administration has resorted to weaponizing the federal justice system to scare us into silence.
But we're not going to be silent.
The Trump administration wants you to be afraid of speaking out against it and its anti-democratic power grabs.
And there are plenty of reasons to be afraid right now, but we have to overcome that fear.
This case targets our rights to protest, speak freely, and associate with anyone who disagrees with the government.
And while we have seen the unhinged and unlawful tactics this administration has used against the American public, it's important to remember they're doing this because they are scared.
They are wrong.
And they know they are on the wrong side of history.
We cannot diminish ourselves in the face of these attacks.
That's why we have to unite and stand up for humanity, our rights, and everyone terrorized by Trump's lawless secret police.
You'll be hearing regular updates directly from me about this case and how we can use our constitutional rights to resist authoritarianism.
And as scary as all of this is, I have spent my career fighting America's backslide into fascism.
