Allegations of Congressional Manipulation Surrounding S.1071, the FY 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, and the Case of Fernando Cota
Springfield, MA, Dave McCausland today issued a statement alleging that Congress used his case and the original Senate bill S.1071 as a vehicle to advance provisions within the FY 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), without transparency, public accountability, or honest debate.
According to McCausland, S.1071 was initially introduced for a specific purpose, the disinterment of Fernando Cota, a convicted rapist interred at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, and the long‑standing fight for justice for victims, including McCausland’s mother, Teresa Sunder. He alleges that rather than allowing the bill to proceed on its own merits, congressional leadership stripped the bill, repackaged its contents, and folded it into the FY 2026 NDAA, effectively burying the issue inside one of Congress’s largest must‑pass bills.
> “Congress used me, and the truth about Fernando Cota and my mother, Teresa Sunder, to pass S.1071 by hiding it inside the FY 2026 NDAA,” said McCausland. “This wasn’t about national defense. It was about avoiding scrutiny, silencing victims, veterans and ensuring there would be no headlines, no debate, and no accountability.”
McCausland asserts that this maneuver deprived the public, the media, veterans’ families, victims’ families, and survivors, including himself, of a transparent legislative process. He further alleges that the tactic was designed to ensure swift passage while minimizing political risk and public backlash.
> “Rebranding S.1071 as the ‘National Defense Authorization Act’ does not make the underlying issue disappear,” McCausland added. “Fernando Cota does not belong buried among our nation’s heroes, and my mother Teresa Sunder does not deserve to be erased from this conversation.” “It changes nothing. Justice doesn’t vanish because Congress hides it in fine print.”
McCausland is calling on all local, national, and independent media outlets to investigate how S.1071 was altered, where it appears within the FY 2026 NDAA, and why such a significant matter was not debated openly as a standalone issue.
He is also urging lawmakers, veterans’ groups, victims’ advocates, survivors of violent crime, and the American public to demand answers, accountability, and the restoration of integrity to the legislative process. McCausland confirms that he has formally notified President Donald J. Trump by publishing a detailed letter on X (formerly Twitter) outlining how Congress used S.1071, concealed it within the FY 2026 NDAA, and bypassed transparency and public scrutiny. 👇

> “This is bigger than me,” McCausland said. “This is about truth, transparency, and whether Congress can quietly manipulate the process without anyone paying attention.”

🚨 President Trump, Before You Sign the FY 2026 NDAA (S.1071), the American People Need the Truth
Mr. President, I’m speaking as a son seeking justice and as the voice of victims, families, and veterans outraged by a decades-long cover-up.
Fernando Cota, a convicted rapist and serial killer, was buried among America’s heroes at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery. This is unacceptable. My mother, Teresa Sunder, was one of his victims, and countless families have been ignored while Congress hid this in plain sight.
Congress used S.1071 as the vehicle to pass the NDAA, slipping the order to disinter Cota into a 3,000-page bill, hoping nobody would notice. The media ignored it, leaving families and the public in the dark.
Now, the House has passed the amended S.1071, but the Senate still must approve it before it becomes law. The disinterment is imminent, but the American people deserve transparency, accountability, and truth before this is finalized.
Mr. President, this is not politics. It is justice, honor, and protecting the sanctity of our veterans’ cemeteries. No rapist, murderer, or predator belongs among our heroes.
✅ Please ensure this truth is seen.
✅ Stand with victims, families, and veterans.
✅ Ensure justice is done before S.1071 is finalized.
America deserves the truth.
Victims deserve justice.
My mother deserves dignity.
MAKE VETERANS CEMETERIES GREAT AGAIN! 🇺🇸
Dave McCausland
For Teresa. For justice. For America.

.@WhiteHouse I wish @POTUS@realDonaldTrump had seen the full truth, what I sacrificed, what I endured, and what Congress did behind closed doors. See this thread for the truth. 💥
Many have worried about me. This past year broke me emotionally, mentally, & financially. I hate asking for help, even when I need it. I gave up my life to expose Fernando Cota & those buried among our heroes. Cota will be removed in 2026. What Congress did still cuts deep. 😞💔
🎄 Merry Christmas Eve! What a year… A roller-coaster for sure. Fernando Cota is being removed ✅, but Congress used my fight to pass the NDAA 💥 That was never my plan. It is what it is. THANK YOU to everyone who stood with me.
See the receipts in this thread. 👀
🎄 Christmas alone… again. Fernando Cota took my mom, Teresa Sunder. My family, Democrats, disowned me. Exposing Cota & others buried among heroes drained me emotionally, mentally, physically & financially. Cota gone 2026. Broke, jobless, soon homeless. 𝕏 is my true family. 💥

“And you, Mary, the Virgin of expectation and fulfilment, who hold the secret of Christmas, make us able to recognize in the Child whom you hold in your arms the heralded Saviour, who brings hope and peace to all.
With you, Mary we all worship Him and trustingly say:
we need You, Jesus
our Redeemer of man, You, who know the hopes and fears of our hearts. Come and stay with us, Lord.
May the joy of Your Nativity reach to the farthest ends of the universe!” ~ Pope John Paul II, Christmas 2003.
🎄Merry Christmas Everyone.
God Bless you and your families.

National Guard troops are patrolling Washington DC wearing Santa hats, today.
God bless these heroes for being away from their families this Christmas, to protect our nation’s Capitol!
There is nothing more American right now than being Jewish. 🇺🇸✡️
Not because it is easy.
Because it is defiant.
This video is about patriotism, identity, and why Jews standing openly and proudly in this moment is not a contradiction. It is the point.
As we head into a new year, with a belated Happy Hanukkah and a Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, I want you to know how deeply I appreciate this community, the Jewish people worldwide who refuse to disappear, and all those who stand up and support us. I wish you all the happiest and healthiest of new years!
Watch. Share. Stand.
Whether you say Merry Christmas, Merry Xmas, or Happy Holidays, love your people, protect your values, and don’t let anyone shame you for it. Faith. Family. Freedom. Wishing everyone on 𝕏 a bold, peaceful holiday season. 🎄🇺🇸
@_SmokeyGirl25 I don’t really have family anymore, they disowned me a long time ago. Democrats. Merry Christmas, SmokeyGirl. God bless you and your family. 🎄🙏🤗❤️
