071126 Oppose Ted Cruz’s Bill to Criminalize Protests (Demand Progress)

Ted Cruz and Trump’s MAGA loyalists in Congress are pushing a bill Cruz says would criminalize organizations that support protests against Trump, like the recent No Kings rallies.

Trump and Stephen Miller are mobilizing the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and FBI to target organizations and people opposing their authoritarian takeover. Cruz’s bill, endorsed by Kash Patel, would help the Trump admin round up political opponents and prosecute them.

This dangerous bill (the “Stop FUNDERs Act”) is a threat to anyone who shows up to protests or even expresses a dissenting opinion. Congress must stop this unconstitutional attack on the First Amendment and prevent MAGA officials from criminalizing protest.
