Democratic Lawmakers File Police Complaints After Trump’s Posts Accuse Them of “Seditious Behavior”

HeadlineNov 24, 2025

Several Democratic lawmakers have filed police complaints after President Trump called for them to be put to death for what he called “seditious behavior.” Trump’s threat came after six lawmakers — who are veterans of the military or CIA — called on active-duty service members to refuse illegal orders. Congressmembers Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan told the U.S. Capitol Police that Trump’s call for their execution has undermined their personal safety while putting the lives of congressional staffers at risk. Crow released audio of death threats phoned into his offices, while Deluzio reported his congressional offices in western Pennsylvania received bomb threats. On Friday, Trump doubled down on his threats, accusing the Democrats of ”SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.”
