Subject: Stop Dangerous Federal Abuses of Power Now

Dear [Elected Official’s Name],

As your constituent, I am writing to express my outrage over the federal raid in Oklahoma City on April 27, 2025—a shocking breach of constitutional rights that threatens the fundamental principles of our democracy.

Federal agents from ICE, FBI, and allegedly the U.S. Marshals forcibly entered the home of Marisa, a U.S. citizen, and her three young daughters. Agents did not identify themselves clearly, lacked a valid warrant naming anyone in the home, and forced the family outside, humiliating them in the rain and confiscating property without proper documentation. Marisa’s husband, still in Maryland, was left helpless as his family was traumatized.

This shocking incident isn't just a tragic mistake; it represents an unacceptable erosion of Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches. Such aggressive, paramilitary tactics against innocent civilians threaten the very foundations of our democracy, signaling that no American is safe from government overreach.

This matters deeply because unchecked federal abuses erode public trust and normalize authoritarian practices. If constitutional rights can be ignored without accountability, democracy itself is at risk.

I urge you to demand immediate transparency and accountability from ICE, FBI, and the U.S. Marshals. Insist these agencies publicly acknowledge wrongdoing and commit to concrete reforms to prevent future abuses.

Your swift action is crucial—not only for this family, but for protecting the democratic rights of all Americans.

Respectfully,

[Your Name]
