Pam Bondi asked about NSPM-7 by Mary Gay Scanlon: "Holding beliefs that the White House disagrees with is not a crime."

We stopped by the Delaware County Health Clinic in Yeadon to meet with representatives of Pennie, the program that provides ACA coverage in PA.
The Pennie reps reported that thousands of PA families are losing healthcare coverage because they can no longer afford it.

I voted NO on the DHS funding bill today.
It does not rein in the DHS and ICE abuses that we’re seeing in my district, in Minnesota, and across the country.
I refuse to send any more taxpayer dollars to Kristi Noem to misuse.

DHS - again - tried to justify the use of lethal force by claiming that the victim had threatened the federal agents. The obvious lies by DHS officials demand a thorough and independent investigation.

We now know that it was an ICU nurse who was shot and killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning.
Multiple videos show that the only thing he was “brandishing” was a camera phone as he was assisting a woman whom ICE agents had pushed to the ground and pepper-sprayed.
