Rep. Omar Wants To Defund Homeland Security Department
[Daily Caller] Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar on Friday called for the Department of Homeland Security to be completely defunded.
In a Friday evening tweet, the Somalia-born Minnesota lawmaker also called President Trump "Individual 1" and his proposed border barrier "hateful."
"When Democrats stood our ground last month, we proved that Individual 1 does not have the public support to ram his hateful wall through Congress," Omar tweeted. "Let’s stand firm: #Not1Dollar for DHS."
Fox News reported that, while many Democrats have called to abolish ICE, "there hasn’t been a strong demand to defund the entire Department of Homeland Security, which also includes the Transportation Safety Administration, Secret Service, Coast Guard and Federal Emergency Management Agency."
