A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

![Dear Representative Feret,
I am a constituent from [REDACTED]
At this moment, our federal constitution is in crisis. Elon Musk-an unelected, unappointed, unconfirmed individual, in charge of a "department" that has no Congressional authority-has sent teenagers into OPM to download American's private, personal data in violation of the law and the Constitution. He has claimed the right to veto government spending approved by Congress-a power deemed illegal by the Supreme Court when exercised by the President, let alone a non-governmental official.
I cannot emphasize enough that if this is allowed to continue, we lose our constitutional democracy. Elon Musk does not have the power of the purse. Elon Musk has not had constitutional authority delegated to him in any official capacity. Elon Musk is exercising authority that does not belong to him. Authoritarian overreach must be stopped immediately, before it gains a foothold.
I know as a state representative, there are many things you cannot do. But it is not nothing.
I am asking you to take action to preserve our democracy and our Constitution by sponsoring and passing State laws that hold that companies with executives in the C-suite engaging in open violation of the laws and Constitution of the United States lack authority to operate in Colorado and any property in the state is subject to civil forfeiture upon suit by the Colorado Attorney General.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:s5fi6htc7xhnshxxn37dg65c/bafkreib2bskhlea7eqojnbsw67pejm666gjdc72muwclpdnzspb2lrx6zq)
