Senator Cotton led 22 of his congressional colleagues in filing an amicus brief opposing the Department of Justice’s overreach: “Today’s decision is a victory against the Biden Administration’s abuse of power. The Department of Justice stretched a law in a way more befitting a banana republic than America. This Administration tolerates violent crime and an open border, but they manipulated a statute to imprison grandmas anywhere near the Capitol on January 6. I was proud to lead the amicus brief and commend the Court for its decision.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z |
