Michigan voters selected her to keep all communities safe, empowering her to faithfully exercise discretion and enforce the law.\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s exactly what she has done in the cases of anti-Israel campus protesters as well as counter-protestors accused of violent acts that go far beyond protected speech. Those charged with criminal conduct will enjoy the same rights of due process as anyone else. Casting doubt on Attorney General Nessel\u2019s impartiality or implying these cases are being handled unfairly due to her religious background is antisemitic, deeply disturbing, and unacceptable.\n\n\u201cElected officials are rightfully held to high standards, but we owe it to our constituents to model methods of disagreement that do not invoke hateful tropes or false charges of unfair bias.\u201d\n\nAmong the Members signing the statement that was co-led by U.S. Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-15) and Haley Stevens (MI-11), were Reps.: Elissa Slotkin (MI-07), Hillary Scholten (MI-03), Shri Thanedar (MI-13), Brad Schneider (IL-10), Lois Frankel (FL-22), Daniel Goldman (NY-10), Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05), Greg Landsman (OH-01), Kathy Manning (NC-06), Norma J. Torres (CA-35), Jimmy Panetta (CA-19), Jared Moskowitz (FL-23), Ritchie Torres, (NY-15), Juan Vargas (CA-52), Tom Suozzi (NY-07), Susie Lee, (NV-03), Marilyn Strickland (WA-10), Steve Cohen (TN-09) and Donald Norcross (NJ-01).\n\n####", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://wassermanschultz.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3251"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1255918070673943, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
