SiriusXM: Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) on Her Stop Trump’s Abuse of Power Act
- “I'm just very simply looking at legislation to make sure the President can’t override the wishes of local law enforcement or state officials in terms of deploying the American military on federal Americans.”
- “We are a nation of laws Steve and frankly the President has got to start following them.”
- As an elected representative of the great state of Michigan, here in our nation’s capitol I am acting. I am putting forward a stop to this abuse of power and chaos that we are getting with Donald Trump and his administration.”
- "We need to ensure that if the president is taking these actions, it is—particularly, deploying the military and the Marines into a situation—that it comes and meets the needs of local law enforcement and state officials."
- “I certainly am known as a very bipartisan member of Congress," she said, "and I plan to have practical and reasonable conversations with my colleagues across the aisle as well."
- “This is just a step in that direction to curb and check and reestablish what we, you know, a long held tradition and rule of law in this country, which is that we have three branches of government."
- “The Oakland County Democrat says her bill is in response to the Trump administration sending marines to Los Angeles during anti-immigration raid protests. ‘I'm going to continue to stand up and I'm going to continue to force these conversations when this level of chaos and disruption is wreaking havoc.’”
