Senators Merkley and Wyden criticize Secretary Noem for potential federal law violations involving partisan TSA videos.
Quiver AI Summary
Oregon Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, along with other colleagues, have admonished DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for allegedly violating federal law by distributing partisan videos at TSA checkpoints. They argue that this action is a misuse of federal resources prohibited under Section 715 of P.L. 118-47 and a breach of the Anti-Lobbying Act.
The Senators request immediate removal of the videos and details regarding their creation, citing that using federal funding for political activities is a serious infringement. They emphasize that this situation disrespects TSA employees who are currently working without pay.
In a letter to Noem, the Senators highlighted the importance of government resources being used for public service rather than partisan messaging and insisted on accountability for the actions of the Trump Administration regarding similar previous violations.
