If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work.

Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.

What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law.

He has talked about sending troops into more U.S. cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act.

The president has spent one hour negotiating this issue with leadership in Congress.
