Attorney General Mayes delivered a stern rebuke of the Trump administration's recent maneuvers, characterizing them as "dictatorial and authoritarian." In a distressing enumeration of events, Mayes pointed to the series of actions and executive orders as affronts both to the Constitution and the foundational principle of the rule of law. "Every day – nearly every hour – there is some new action or executive order that makes a mockery of the rule of law and the Constitution itself," Mayes said, as stated by the Attorney General's Office.

Amid this critical juncture in American politics, Mayes underscored the role of the independent judiciary as a safeguard against executive overreach. "In the United States, we appeal rulings we disagree with – we don’t ignore court orders or threaten judges with impeachment when a ruling goes the way we don’t like," she asserted, as reported by the Attorney General's Office. The Attorney General illustrated her concern for the erosion of democratic processes and how an unchecked administration could fundamentally alter the fabric of American governance.

"There is an undemocratic administration in power, and they appear to be hell-bent on undoing 250 years of adherence to the rule of law in this nation," said Mayes in the statement. Highlighting the gravity of the situation, she revealed the absurdity where power had been handed over to "an unelected billionaire and a group of teenage hackers," painting a dystopian scenario where wealth and cyber expertise could potentially override institutional authority.

Attorney General Mayes reaffirmed her commitment to challenging what she deems as "illegal actions of the Trump administration in court," expressing confidence with an assertive, "And we will continue to win." She called for a collective defense of the country's democratic ethos, emphasizing that failing to act risks losing the freedoms and justice established by American precursors and protected through the sacrifices of many. "It is time for every American patriot to stand up, speak out, and defend our democratic processes," Mayes told the public, the Attorney General's Office noted.
