Trump Train ambush previewed the Capitol attack. We're suing to stop the violence: Victims
We were traumatized and fearful while our pursuers were triumphant and bragging on social media. If we normalize violence like this, it will escalate.

Political violence and voter intimidation are on the upswing. That’s why we’ve filed two lawsuits over the “Trump Train” I-35 ambush.
The events of Oct. 30 were a dress rehearsal for the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. As we drove in the Biden-Harris campaign bus and in support cars along Interstate 35 on our way from San Antonio to Austin, Texas, a mob of Trump supporters terrorized us in an attempt to harass and intimidate us out of peacefully engaging in political activity that they didn’t like. Now we’re suing those assailants – and the law enforcement officers who ignored our pleas for help – to send a clear message: Political violence has consequences, and it must be stopped.
