During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing Monday, Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) questioned former DHS Director Ronald Vitiello about a tweet of his in which he said the Democratic Party should be renamed the 'Neo-Klanist Party'.
Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), ranking member of the Committee on Homeland Security, and Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD), ranking member of the Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability Subcommittee, sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General Joseph Cuffari calling on him to immediately resign after he admitted during Congressional testimony to a “normal practice” of deleting “business” text messages from his government-issued phone – willful and intentional acts that may constitute criminal violations of the Federal Records Act (FRA) and DHS policy.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen, and Congressmen Steny Hoyer (Md.-5), Dutch Ruppersberger (Md.-2), John Sarbanes (Md.-3), Kweisi Mfume (Md.-7), Andy Harris (Md.-1), Jamie Raskin (Md.-8) and Glenn Ivey (Md.-4) welcomed Maryland Governor Wes Moore and members of his cabinet to the U.S. Capitol on Monday to discuss federal priorities for the state.
One aspect of the proposal drawing scrutiny calls for a specialized unit of volunteers within the greater FSG that would allow them to carry weapons and act with the same legal authority of any law enforcement agency they are working with.
Democrats argue that the new arm of the state militia could be used to carry out a political agenda, according to a letter sent by U.S. Rep. Glenn Ivey of Maryland, asking the House Judiciary Committee to investigate the move.
Reps. Steve Cohen of Tennessee, Sheila Jackson of Texas and Glenn Ivey of Maryland wrote a letter to the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. The letter deems DeSantis' use of federal funding for the special statewide police force "unconstitutional" and "improper."
Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-4th) warned of potential dire effects on his district, which contains most of Prince George’s County and a portion of Montgomery County.
Ivey estimates that a Republican proposal that would limit spending to fiscal 2022 levels would put health care insurance, food assistance, some preschool and child care at risk along with other essential services.
“And if Republicans don’t get their way, they’re threatening to default on our nation’s bills, unleashing economic catastrophe and putting vital government services at risk,” Ivey said in a statement.
