We are not asking for a favor.

We are demanding elected officials do the job the Constitution gives them.

†rump and his enablers have abused emergency and military powers, worked to undermine free elections, and targeted vulnerable communities. IÇE agents, often masked and unidentified, are profiling and detaining people based on appearance, not evidence. Protest rights are being dismantled. Healthcare, food, and housing programs are being gutted while the powerful profit. The rule of law is bent to shield allies and punish opponents.

Demands to the City We are demanding that elected officials do the job the Constitution gives them, and we will present those demands publicly, on the record, to the City of Joplin.

Our demands are straightforward:

• acknowledge the documented economic harm caused by the One Big Ugly Bill and the †rump tariff regime; 
• call on Missouri’s congressional delegation to oppose further Medicaid and safety-net cuts; 
• demand the full and unredacted release of the Epstein files; and 
• reject any 287(g) agreement that would turn local police into immigration-enforcement agents. Local agencies are not required to enter 287(g) agreements, which are voluntary federal arrangements that deputize local law enforcement to carry out certain immigration functions.

We also demand that city leaders publicly commit to keeping Joplin police and the Jasper County Sheriff focused on local public safety, not federal civil immigration enforcement. The documented rise in IÇE detention deaths, along with the broader record of abuse, detention, and racial profiling concerns, makes clear why our community should oppose any move that blurs the line between local policing and federal immigration machinery.
