00:00The gentlewoman is recognized for one minute.
00:02Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:04I am again coming to the House floor, the People's Chamber, to say the emergency isn't coming.
00:10It's now.
00:11Donald Trump's advisors are threatening to suspend habeas corpus.
00:16Habeas corpus is the constitutional right that protects Americans from being detained
00:21without charge, without trial, without due process.
00:25This isn't some obscure legal debate.
00:29Habeas corpus is the bedrock of our freedom.
00:33Strip it away, and you strip away the very foundation of our nation.
00:37Let me be clear.
00:38This is authoritarianism in plain sight, a direct assault on the rule of law and on the American people.
00:47To my colleagues in this chamber, we are not just representatives of our districts.
00:52We are the front-line defenders of our republic.
00:55We cannot merely just watch history unfold.
00:59We must shape it.
01:01It is on each and every one of us to tell the truth.
01:05Donald Trump is coming for our freedoms.
01:08It is on each and every one of us to stand up, speak out, and refuse to be silenced.
01:13And to my colleagues, don't wait for the history books to decide what side you were on.
01:18Decide right now.
01:19Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
01:20I yield back.
