With TSA lines stretching for hours during a DHS funding shutdown, ABC30 questioned Representatives Tom McClintock and Adam Gray about the impasse and enforcement reforms. They disagreed over the dispute but expressed support for body cameras.
ABC30 reported that airport security lines were stretching for hours while Congress remained at an impasse over funding the Department of Homeland Security. Tom McClintock blamed Senate Democrats and said the House had passed a DHS funding bill; Adam Gray said Democrats were seeking reforms, including restrictions on masks and warrant requirements. A traveler criticized politicians for penalizing people trying to work.
McClintock and Gray agreed that body cameras could be part of a solution, with Gray offering to cosponsor legislation if McClintock introduced it. They also differed in their assessments of federal enforcement and former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. The article said Markwayne Mullin had been confirmed as the department’s next secretary.
