DHS representatives had previously denied that DHS had any information regarding the MSP investigations targeting these protesters.

It shows the enthusiastic support that Mr. Gensler enjoys from the Maryland delegation.

I think this is one of these threats that is an invisible threat, and then, wham, it could have serious consequences.

Narcotics seem to be an insidious evil that has many tentacles that could undermine the United States of America or our efforts.

The Senator from Minnesota is right that this is an issue in Maryland, as well as nationwide. As the economic recovery package moves to conference, we will work to ensure mechanisms are in place for this critical program to be quickly and…

The funding I included in the CJS portion of economic recovery package for crime victim compensation programs will be in addition to their annual VOCA grants, and will not be deducted from their annual VOCA grants.
