Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf and Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli were invalidly appointed to their positions and are ineligible to serve, according to a GAO report.

That raises serious legal questions. There must be accountability. politico.com/news/2020/08/1…
GAO is referring questions about the legality of Wolf and Cuccinelli’s actions to DHS’ IG, which has been remarkably dormant.

Plus the DHS IG lied about having a PhD, which raises some integrity questions... washingtonpost.com/national/homel…
No matter what the IG finds, DHS is no stranger to flouting the law.

Its multi-pronged attack on civilians at anti-racism protests could be a constitutional violation and raises serious questions about abuse of power.

DHS is a sprawling and powerful agency with a $70 billion budget. Its actions directly impact the health and safety of the public.

Congress can and must use its appropriations power to push for accountability at DHS and ICE. citizensforethics.org/legal-filing/c…
If Wolf and Cuccinelli’s illegal appointments aren’t challenged, that clears the path for more legal violations throughout the rest of the agency.

Don’t let this pass by. Demand accountability.
