The environment is becoming increasingly carceral, with more fences and barriers and more law enforcement on constant patrol.

Trump has fenced off Lafayette Square across from the White House, denying access to a public park long known as the site of celebrations, protests, and tourists taking photographs. Fencing off the public: fencing himself off from reality.

Emmett Till was born right here in Chicago on July 25, 1941. And it is with deep humility and great pride that I signed legislation this week at Roberts Temple to declare his birthday as the Illinois Day of Reflection and Remembrance of Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley.

People are shocked when they come to DC now and see groups of fully armed soldiers patrolling our neighborhoods. Trump's occupation of DC has been going on for nearly a year — and he wants it to go on forever. We refuse to allow this to become normalized and continue to call for it to end.
