Ranking Member Thompson, Democratic Committee Leaders Request Watchdog Review DOGE’s Actions at DHS to Assess National Security Impact
(WASHINGTON) – Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, along with the six Democratic Subcommittee Ranking Members of the Committee, announced they have requested that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) conduct a full review the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) actions at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – including mass firings, access to information systems, and cancellation of contracts and grants.
Letter excerpt:
“Since hijacking the U.S. Digital Service to establish DOGE, Elon Musk’s unqualified staff have fanned out across the Federal government. They have embedded themselves within departments and agencies, including DHS, to seize sensitive data, purge civil servants, and gut programs with no regard to the critical services they provide everyday Americans.”
