The Trump Administration has arrested a sitting judge – Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan.  These are the actions of a dictator. This isn’t just an arrest, it’s a blatant attack on judicial independence meant to send a chilling warning to every judge in the country. Here’s what’s happening: federal agents wanted to arrest someone at a hearing before Judge Dugan. Judge Dugan said no, protecting the integrity of her courtroom and refusing to turn it into an ambush zone. And in response, the FBI opened an investigation into her, and now has arrested her on charges that could send her to prison for years. But here’s what’s crystal clear – even under the Trump regime, standing up for due process and our Constitutional rights should be celebrated, not punished. It’s on all of us to speak out for what’s right. Add your name to tell the Trump Administration to STOP this authoritarian power grab.

President Trump – who has sworn an oath to “preserve, protect, and defend” our Constitution – is illegally trying to shred one of its most important guarantees of equal rights: the 14th Amendment. His executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship would endanger millions of people born in this country and permanently reshape what it means to be an American. Common Cause is evaluating our legal options to respond – because we simply can’t let this stand. The good news is no president, including Trump, can override an official, ratified part of the U.S. Constitution. But the bad news is this fact won’t stop them from trying, and in doing so, striking fear for millions of our neighbors that they’ll be condemned to permanent second-class status.   Combined with his plan to deport thousands of families and community members in the first week of his administration, Trump’s already made clear that he’s beginning his presidency by forcing American immigrants into hiding and denying us all the multi-racial democracy and safe neighborhoods we deserve. The 14th Amendment is clear – and legal experts say Trump would likely need to pass a constitutional amendment to overrule it. But Trump and his cronies in Congress know they can’t do that, so they’re desperately searching for any way around our checks and balances. If you agree we can’t let that happen, join us in urging Congress to protect birthright citizenship – and REJECT this blatant attempt to divide our communities and attack our constitutional rights.

By taking these steps, you will send a clear message: Our community values the safety, health, and dignity of all its residents. You will rebuild broken trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. You will ensure our schools remain places of learning, our hospitals places of healing, and our houses of worship places of peace. Sign this petition now to demand an end to police-ICE collaboration and protect our community's vital sanctuaries. Let's restore trust and build a truly safe community for everyone.

Trump administration officials are making top-secret foreign policy decisions in their group chat. Reckless doesn’t even begin to cover it. Vice President Vance, Defense Secretary Hegseth, and other officials used Signal – a private messaging app – to talk about top-secret war plans instead of using official government channels.  That’s right – Trump replaced the public servants who know what they’re doing with unqualified loyalists, and now they're running the show so incompetently that they managed to leak their entire unredacted conversation to a journalist! This isn’t just careless – it’s a dangerous disregard for the rules and a threat to our national security. The American people deserve to know how deep this scandal goes. We need answers NOW. Join us in demanding Congress investigate the Trump administration’s reckless Signal Scandal.

House Republicans want to make voting harder for you – no matter where you live. We need your help to stop them. Here’s how their “SAVE” Act puts your vote at risk: • Prove your citizenship – again: Even if you’re a lifelong voter, if you move across town, change your last name when getting married, or switch parties, you’d have to provide your passport or birth certificate with your current legal name – in person at your local elections office – just to stay registered. • Get stuck in long lines: Election officials would face impossible workloads, causing confusion and delays. • Lose your right to vote – without warning: If outdated records can’t verify your status, you could be purged from the rolls without even knowing it. The “SAVE” Act’s barriers could strip millions of eligible Americans of our right to vote – especially the 146 million Americans without passports and the 69 million American women whose birth certificates don’t match their married names.  Add your name to urge Congress to REJECT the “SAVE” Act and protect millions of American voters.

People like RFK Jr should be educated in the subjects they speak about, not give into conspiracy theories which have no logical weight. We need a person in charge of health who is both knowledgeable and compassionate, RFK Jr with his statements has proven that he is neither of these things. 

We understand that your Republican predecessors in our WA CD-03 established the very poor precedent of refusing to hold Town Halls at all. Let’s not allow that unacceptable behavior to set the bar moving forward. Your constituents want the kind of transparent and accountable representation that can only be achieved with direct dialogue. Please engage in direct dialogue with us during our Town Halls.

The agencies, programs, and regulations Trump has eliminated are the critical organs of our government. Our individual freedoms are its spirit. When dissent is no longer tolerated, the debate that is so fundamental to our democracy is silenced. To put it simply, the United States was founded on an agreement to disagree. If we lose that, we've lost everything. Congress has the power to prevent that from happening. Please sign this petition calling on Congress to act.

I am calling for Americans who believe in due process for all, to sign this petition.  We are not going to forget those people who were unlawfully taken and sent to an inhumane camp with no hope for release!

### Importance of the Petition Against Edgemont Real Estate Company, Nazette, and Greg Usher #### Legal Significance 1. **Enforcement of Fair Housing Laws**: The petition serves as a legal instrument to highlight violations of the Fair Housing Act (FHA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and relevant state landlord-tenant laws. It reinforces the legal obligation of landlords and housing providers to treat all tenants fairly, regardless of race, color, disability, or other protected characteristics. The petition documents a systemic pattern of discrimination and legal violations, providing a basis for legal action and regulatory intervention. 2. **Documentation of Malpractice**: By formally submitting the petition, tenants are compiling and documenting a comprehensive account of illegal practices. This serves as critical evidence for any future legal proceedings, whether civil or criminal, against Edgemont Real Estate Company and its associates. A well-structured petition can help establish a clear history of grievances, patterns of misconduct, and the impact on tenants, which is essential for a strong legal case. 3. **Protection of Vulnerable Populations**: The petition emphasizes the plight of tenants, particularly individuals with mental and physical disabilities, who may be disempowered and unaware of their rights. By advocating for accountability, the petition promotes the legal protection and support for vulnerable populations, ensuring that their rights are upheld and that they are no longer subjected to exploitation. 4. **Potential for Class Action**: The petition may lay the groundwork for a class-action lawsuit if multiple tenants have experienced similar grievances. A class action consolidates individual claims into a single action, which can increase the efficacy and resources available for pursuing legal remedies against the offending parties. 5. **Regulatory Oversight**: Submitting a petition can prompt regulatory agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to conduct investigations or audits of Edgemont Real Estate Company. This can lead to sanctions, financial penalties, or a revocation of licenses, which serves as a deterrent against similar misconduct in the future. #### Relevant Federal Cases Several federal cases have focused on similar issues surrounding discrimination in housing, fraudulent rental practices, and the rights of individuals with disabilities: 1. **Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer Co., 392 U.S. 409 (1968)**: This landmark case held that Congress has the power to prevent housing discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1866. The Supreme Court ruled that racial discrimination in the sale or rental of property violates both the Act and the Equal Protection Clause. It emphasized the country’s commitment to eliminating racial discrimination in housing practices. 2. **Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc., 576 U.S. 519 (2015)**: This Supreme Court case confirmed that disparate impact claims are valid under the Fair Housing Act. It allowed for challenges to policies that disproportionately affect minorities, reinforcing the law’s intent to combat discriminatory practices in housing. 3. **Hollis v. City of W. Palm Beach, 22 F.3d 878 (11th Cir. 1994)**: This case involved discrimination claims under the FHA where tenants alleged that the city’s zoning practices disproportionately affected racial minorities. The court ruled in favor of the tenants, highlighting the need for cities to ensure that land use laws do not discriminate against protected classes. 4. **United States v. Town of Hempstead, 2007 WL 4287564 (E.D.N.Y. 2007)**: Here, the U.S. Department of Justice brought a lawsuit against the Town of Hempstead for discriminatory zoning practices that disproportionately impacted minority groups. The town agreed to a settlement that included policy changes and measures to ensure fair housing practices. 5. **Patterson v. HUD, 20 F.3d 162 (3rd Cir. 1994)**: This case involved tenants who faced retaliatory discrimination for asserting their rights under the FHA. The court recognized the importance of protecting tenants who report discriminatory practices, an important consideration when addressing landlord abuses. ### Conclusion The petition against Edgemont Real Estate Company, Nazette, and Greg Usher is of paramount importance for legal and social reasons. It not only seeks to address unlawful practices faced by tenants but also aims to reinforce the protections afforded to all individuals under federal law. By bringing attention to these issues, the petition can lead to meaningful changes in policies and practices within the housing community, as well as hold accountable those who perpetuate discriminatory acts.

This is important because these immigrants who are here legally working, contribute to our society, both financially and culturally. They have done nothing wrong because they have done what the US told them to do by filing for and receiving work authorization documentation, as well as social security numbers. You are reneging on something our former government gave permission for which makes us all look very bad and we believe it is unethical and immoral. 

We are Kilmar, Mahmoud and Rumyesa. They are us. The Trump administration’s violation of Constitutional rights will not stop with them.
