Mother tells how she lost her house, job and nearly her kids when she was arrested in Kamala Harris' 'war on truancy' after disabled 11-year-old daughter missed school

When police pounded on Cheree Peoples's door and placed her in handcuffs she tried to explain that it was all a misunderstanding.

Her 11-year-old daughter was disabled and had only missed school because she was in severe pain and needed hospital treatment.

'Go talk to Kamala Harris,' an officer growled back at the woman in pajamas. 'Place your hands behind your back.'

Single mom Cheree, 45, was perp-walked, taken to jail and afforded the level of news coverage one might expect in a high-profile murder case.

As San Francisco district attorney and later state attorney general, Harris backed a statewide truancy bill threatening parents with a criminal misdemeanor punishable by a year in jail and a $2,500 fine if their kids skipped 10 percent of classes.

Her daughter was born with sickle cell anemia, a chronic blood disorder which left the little girl struggling to walk and prone to bouts of excruciating pain.

Shayla required powerful pain medication and blood transfusions every three weeks along with countless doctors' visits and trips to the hospital.

Cheree believed she would be set free as soon as she had a chance to explain Shayla's medical condition.

For more than two years, Cheree protested her innocence, declining a plea deal that offered her parenting classes instead of a prison sentence.

She lost her job, her home, and was forced to live between motels, struggling to pay her legal bills and worrying that her kids would be taken into care.

But every time Cheree's case went to trial, she says the attorneys would huddle in the judge's chambers and decide to push it back without explanation.

There are no parent rights in CA and the agenda is going nationwide.

Pres Biden ‘Excited’ About Going After Concerned Parents as Domestic Terrorists:
Biden Focused on Intimidating law-abiding parents shielding their children from harm

President Joe Biden “was excited … to go after parents” with the FBI after receiving the National School Boards Association letter asking his administration to treat concerned parents as “domestic terrorists” and use the Patriot Act, House Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) told Breitbart News.

“Joe Biden called up Viola Garcia, the president of the School Boards Association, and invited her to come to the White House because he was so excited about what they were doing,” Jordan said. “And so the speed and the intensity and the excitement from this White House about putting this scheme into place, this conspiracy into place … he was excited about what this was, this whole process, this whole conspiracy to go after parents.”

Since the letter was received and acted upon by several members of the Biden administration, including most notably Attorney General Merrick Garland sending the FBI after parents who spoke at school board meetings, Jordan and the House Judiciary Republicans have been incessantly requesting information from the involved government agencies to find out who in the government was involved with the letter.

“We have sent nearly 100 letters to Departmental components requesting documents and information related to this investigation,” a letter to Garland signed by all Judiciary Republicans and obtained exclusively by Breitbart News states. “To date, we have received only two half-page responses from your Department, and none of the requested documents or substantive information.” Judiciary Republicans sent similar letters, also obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and White House chief of staff Ronald Klain regarding their respective components’ involvement or prior knowledge of the NSBA letter.

“The NSBA letter to President Biden alleged that ‘malice, violence, and threats’ against school officials ‘could be the equivalent of a form of domestic terrorism or hate crimes,’” the Judiciary GOP letter to Klain states. “The letter urged the President to use federal counterterrorism tools, including the Patriot Act, to target parents speaking out at school board meetings on behalf of their children.” “We know from the NSBA-commissioned report that the White House did not object to or otherwise discourage the NSBA from asking the President to use the Patriot Act and domestic terrorism statutes against America’s parents—a request of which the President said he was ‘appreciative,’” the letter continued.

What happened in the aftermath of the NSBA letter to Biden “strengthens our concerns that the Biden Administration is chilling protected First Amendment activity as parents rightfully fear that their passionate advocacy for their children could result in a visit from federal law enforcement,” according to the Judiciary GOP letter to Klain.

The majority of the information — at least initially — came from FBI whistleblowers, which Jordan numbers at over a dozen. “But for the whistleblowers who have come forward, I don’t know that we’d have learned much of anything,” he said. Additionally, after an NSBA internal review — the “NSBA-commissioned report” — the school board group admitted to heavy collusion with the White House and other administration officials, which the Judiciary GOP letter to Garland said provided “startling new evidence of how the Justice Department coordinated with the White House to target concerned parents.” NSBA investigators placed the blame for the letter — from their end — almost entirely on Chip Slaven, who at the time was the Interim CEO and Executive Director of the organization.

Slaven worked closely with White House Senior Advisor to the President Mary C. Wall, who “had advanced knowledge of the planned Letter and its specific contents and interacted with Mr. Slaven regarding the Letter during its drafting,” according to the findings of the inquiry. “In addition, evidence indicates that White House officials discussed the existence of the Letter, its requests, and the contents of the Letter with Department of Justice officials more than a week before the Letter was finalized and sent to President Biden,” the findings continue.

“Ms. Wall requested an advanced copy of the Letter to provide to her White House and Department of Justice colleagues ‘to see if there might be any options we can pursue here.’” “The NSBA-commissioned report shows serious collusion between the Biden Administration and the NSBA to create the justification to use the heavy hand of federal law enforcement against concerned moms and dads advocating for their children’s future,” the Judiciary GOP letter to Garland states. “Committee Republicans will not let this matter rest. We are committed to fully examining the Biden Administration’s use of counterterrorism resources in relation to school board meetings.”

Prior to the NSBA letter’s public release, Slaven and Wall spoke specifically about using the Patriot Act and other counterterrorism tools to investigate parents concerned with what their children were learning in school. An email from Wall to Slaven asked about “options we can pursue,” such as the “threat assessment”:
