People should be concerned with those who go to Congress to enrich themselves, not those who sacrifice their livelihood to serve
Drop a flag 🇺🇸 if you stand with Hegseth
I spoke with DHS Secretary Mullin last night and urged him to cease all non-urgent vehicle stops in the wake of yesterday’s deadly Biddeford shooting. I am encouraged that the Department has agreed to do so.
An impartial investigation into the shooting in Biddeford needs to proceed, as the details surrounding this tragedy are important. It is extremely unfortunate that the agent involved did not have a body-worn camera. In April, measures that I authored in the Homeland Security funding bill became law, including $20 million for expanded use of body-worn cameras, $2 million for de-escalation training, and a 17% increase in the independent Office of Inspector General’s budget to investigate matters such as this shooting.��The Democratic government shutdown delayed enactment and implementation of these important safety measures.
While it is clear ICE needs to improve its performance, it is important to remember that the work ICE does to protect our country goes far beyond immigration enforcement. ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is tasked with combating cartels, human smuggling, child exploitation, forced labor, and more. Eliminating ICE would make our country less safe and endanger the lives and welfare of countless individuals.
What’s sad to me… is that Lindsay Graham probably thought he could outlast Trump and then reconcile his morality after that. There is no after that now.
I’m not going to celebrate Lindsey Graham��s death, that’s not my style.
However, to any of the Republicans pearl clutching about Americans using their freedom of speech at this time, I’d ask you why you’re holding regular people to higher standards than you hold the President.
