Constitutional Safeguards

Following the collapse of federal checks on executive power
Carolina contacted her congressional representative and proposed a constitutional amendment for a state-led Constitutional Convention under Article V. The goal: restore balance and prevent unilateral federal abuse when all three branches fail.

Exposing the Collapse Engine

As elite profiteering under Trump escalated
Carolina delivered a comprehensive report on the Trump regime mechanics meant to profit from harm. Exposing how deregulation, tariffs, and financial extraction were being used to destabilize public systems and funnel power upward.

Shortly after
She submitted a formal legal letter demanding a federal investigation into the profiteers. Her letter cited constitutional violations and named the legal statutes being ignored or abused.

A Budget Rooted in Fairness and Survival

In response to the Hands Off protests and rising public despair, Carolina drafted a full national budget proposal that fully funds universal, affordable healthcare, protects every safety net without cuts, covers 50% of healthcare premiums without requiring anyone to change their existing plan, generates a $3.1 to $5.1 trillion surplus by closing billionaire loopholes and taxing fairly, and ends participation in the systemic abuse loop operating under Trump’s second term.

Protecting Land, Water, and Indigenous Rights
As new corruption reports surfaced, Carolina sent formal correspondence to U.S. Senators demanding immediate investigation into violations of the Trust Doctrine. Exposing how the Trump regime’s backers were undermining tribal, ecological, and community rights for private gain and warned that environmental deregulation would also cause severe health problems, benefiting the same pharmaceutical companies positioned to profit from the damage.

Ending California’s Complicity in Human Rights Abuses
Early May, after widespread reports of inhumane detention conditions, Carolina demanded the immediate shutdown of all federal immigration detention centers operating in California. Her letter framed it as a legal and moral obligation, urging the state to stop profiting from federally driven cruelty.

Defending State Sovereignty Against Federal Takeover
Early June, after Trump ordered National Guard deployment in Los Angeles, Carolina called on Governor Newsom to assert California’s sovereign powers, invoke the anti-commandeering doctrine, prevent National Guard control under federal command, and enact emergency data protections to shield California residents.

Stopping Political Surveillance and Retaliation
Mid-June, as ICE raids escalated and Latino communities were targeted, Carolina submitted a follow-up letter demanding a state firewall to block data sharing with federal agencies without a California-issued warrant, protection for lawful residents from political suppression, and official acknowledgment of the racial and retaliatory targeting driving these actions.

Protecting Veterans from Political Retaliation
Mid-June, following Trump’s executive order denying care to dissenting veterans, Carolina exposed the move as unconstitutional. She cited Hartman v. Moore (2006), Romer v. Evans (1996), and South Dakota v. Dole (1987). She called for a California Executive Order to guarantee that no veteran in this state would ever be denied care based on their beliefs or protest history.

Defending Californians Who Choose to Protect Each Other
Mid-June, after peaceful community members were arrested for intervening during ICE raids, Carolina called for legislation to protect people who act with courage and compassion. She requested civil and criminal immunity, employment protections, and legal grounding under Printz v. United States and South Dakota v. Dole. She cited Jose Manuel Mojica, tackled for peacefully de-escalating in Los Angeles, and Alejandro Orellana, arrested for distributing water and masks at a protest in San Francisco.

Public Call for Accountability & Amnesty

Spoke with Los Angeles journalists.

Publicly called for the arrest of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, setting a tone of accountability.

Announced policy ARREST ICE, committing to pursue criminal liability for unlawful ICE arrests, detentions, and collaboration by deputized actors.

Posted TikTok video calling for mass amnesty and the release of all detainees.

Same day, Mayor Karen Bass issued workplace ICE guidance and allocated limited funds for impacted families. About $100-200 according to on the ground voices.

Protested in La Palma Park on June 14, 2025

Carolina stood with thousands who showed up to defend democracy and resist authoritarianism. She felt the energy in the crowd and was proud to be among such strong, courageous souls united by purpose and love. She loved how everyone’s signs refused to pull any punches.

A quick note: I want to acknowledge that Governor Newsom has recently taken meaningful steps in how he’s communicating with Californians. In moments like these, clear, grounded leadership matters, and I’m genuinely encouraged by what I’m seeing. However we need to see better solutions, that don’t cut our support systems!

Reparations & Detainee Dignity

Posted TikTok calling for reparations for historically exploited communities.

Reiterated demand for full release and dignity of detainees.

Video reached ~50,000 viewers and drew ~3,000 hostile responses from outside California, showing national reach.

Alignment with Farmworker Strike

Amplified the California farmworker strike boycott against Trump-donor companies cooperating with ICE.

Reshared posts to resistance coalitions, broadening visibility.

Alignment between strike demands and my own immigration advocacy highlighted decentralized solidarity.

United Nations Complaint Read Aloud

Attended protest at the federal building in downtown Los Angeles.

Read aloud my formal United Nations complaint documenting ICE raids, violations of due process, deaths in detention, and systemic human rights abuses.

DHS agents escalated the protest by seizing and dragging away a woman protester identified as a veteran.

Harris Called Out

Shared TikTok video of my UN complaint reading.

Directly called out Kamala Harris for silence on California abuses.

Caption described DHS arrest of the veteran protester and urged the public to pressure officials.

Video reached ~18,000 viewers.

Days later, Kamala Harris announced she would not run for governor.

Formal Request to DOJ: LAPD Neglect & DHS Misconduct

Sent letter to California Attorney General Rob Bonta requesting investigations into DHS misconduct and LAPD neglect during July 19 protest.

Legal Basis Cited:

Clifton v. Cox (1972) — federal agents not immune from state prosecution.

Cox) Condemn DHS use of psychiatric threats to silence dissent. Coordinate with attorneys for litigation or emergency legal relief.

Requested the following actions from Mayor Bass:

Letter sent to Governor Newsom: Action for DHS Abuse, Detention Conditions, and City Negligence

Requested urgent intervention following the violent arrest of a young Black woman at a peaceful protest outside the MDC on July 24. Reported misconduct by DHS stationed at the facility, who have deployed flash bangs and rubber bullets against demonstrators, including children. A July 28 investigation by The Guardian confirmed DHS agents in Los Angeles have consistently fabricated justifications for arrests and use of force. Reports from detainees described cells with black mold, no toilet paper, no showers, and prolonged confinement in dungeon-like conditions. Unhoused protestors and those with prior records were reportedly held longer without cause.

Communicated with Governor Newsom that a formal 311 complaint was submitted directly to Mayor Karen Bass, citing DHS abuse, LAPD complicity, and The Guardian’s findings. Explained complaint was closed within hours without investigation. The city responded by denying LAPD involvement and justifying arrests, while failing to address the documented misconduct. As the complaint was addressed to the Mayor, she was formally notified and had an opportunity to act. Her administration instead chose deflection and dismissal. This constitutes institutional negligence. The letter calls for a full review of protest-related detentions, release of everyone including those held due to housing status or prior unrelated charges, a public statement defending protest rights, public accountability for Mayor Bass, and coordinated investigation by Attorney General Rob Bonta and the California DOJ.

Demand to Free ICE Detainees & Cut State Support

Sent letter to Governor Gavin Newsom urging executive action under CESA.

Demands:

Free ICE detainees through mass legal review and habeas filings.

Ban ICE from using California infrastructure, fuel, hotels, vehicle rentals, surveillance tools, and contracts.

Prohibit state-licensed vendors from enabling ICE raids or deportations.

Enforcement Mechanisms: Proposed civil fines, license suspension, contract termination, compliance inspections, procurement freezes, and financial penalties.

Framing: Called this civil rights enforcement. Warned that Californians were already organizing boycotts to expose complicit businesses.

Los Angeles Police Commissioners Notice & Katie Porter

Stood before the Los Angeles Police Commission, warning:
“Institutional negligence has been documented, and you can be removed from office.”

That evening, turned to camera and publicly invited Katie Porter to show up for LA against police abuse, protest suppression, and DHS collaboration. She has not responded.

Corona City Council Meeting & Chief of Police

When Chief of Police defended DHS cooperation, Carolina yelled out:
“DHS are liars. ICE lies when they call the police on the people.”

Met with the Chief in the hallway right after, joined by a Latino coalition.

He stated no state directive had been issued on TRO enforcement, leaving departments paralyzed.

Confirmed structural paralysis of local law enforcement without state leadership.

UN Human Trafficking Complaint

Delivered printed copy of my UN human trafficking complaint to a congress representative’s office.

Staff conversation dismissed protest actions as less useful than volunteering. I explained moral and legal parallels between deportation systems and trafficking networks.

Called Governor Newsom’s office to press for TRO enforcement guidance. Staff insisted police chiefs must request it themselves.

Urgent TRO Clarification to Attorney General

Wrote to AG Bonta requesting statewide binding guidance on enforcing the Ninth Circuit TRO.

Warned of dangerous gaps leaving local police uncertain of their authority to intervene against DHS.

Proposed protocols: verify federal credentials, detain unverified agents, record all encounters, intervene in TRO violations, document and report.

Emphasized that Supremacy Clause does not protect unlawful acts.

Declared State Emergency to Governor Newsom

Sent letter urging Governor to declare State of Emergency under CESA to confront police state conditions.

Legal Basis Cited: CESA, SB 54 (California Values Act), Gov. Code §§ 26602 and 12560, AB 392.

Demands:

Prohibit law enforcement cooperation with unlawful federal operations.

Deploy CA DOJ and CHP to block raids and abusive policing.

Restrict statewide use of deadly force.

Mandate rapid state review of bodycam/dashcam footage.

Penalize businesses aiding DHS with license suspension or revocation.

Closing appeal: “Good people are suffering on the ground… I am asking for real help now please.”

Guidance to CSAC on TRO Enforcement

Sent formal letter to the California State Association of Counties (CSAC).

Warned that failure to enforce TRO could constitute negligence, complicity, or obstruction of justice.

Pledged to pursue decertification of officers who fail their duty.

Provided enforcement guidance: verify federal credentials, intervene in violations, collect and report evidence, and recognize that federal employment does not shield unlawful acts.

Requested circulation of guidance to all 58 counties, sheriffs, police chiefs, and county counsels.
