Last week, Republicans celebrated the pardoning of violent criminals who brutally assaulted police officers, many of whom have extensive criminal records that include rape and domestic violence. Today, their reckless and dangerous assault on American law enforcement continues with the gutting of the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Department of Justice. By working to fire hundreds of dedicated career law enforcement agents and undermine the principled, patriotic public servants of the FBI, far-right extremists are once again proving that they are the party of lawlessness and disorder. The men and women being forced out of their jobs as part of this Republican revenge tour are not political appointees, they are civil servants who have dedicated their lives to ensuring the safety of our nation and combatting terrorism. Republicans are hollowing out the world’s premier law enforcement agency and leaving everyday Americans more vulnerable to violent criminals and terrorists. This complete disregard for national security in pursuit of vengeance should shock the conscience of every American. Led by Reps. Jamie Raskin and Gerry Connolly, we will aggressively push back. ### Back to News Share: FacebookTwitterNewsletter Sign UpSubscribe to our e-newsletter that provides updates on important issues, my work in the Congress and what's happening in our district.EmailSubmitBill SearchPlease select and optionCurrent LegislationAll LegislationAll Sources--MembersCongressional RecordCommittee ReportsNominationsSearch for a billSubmit QueryOffice LocationsWashington, DC Office 2267 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Phone: (202) 225-5936 Hours: M-F 9 am - 5 pm Central Brooklyn District Office 55 Hanson Place Suite 603 Brooklyn, NY 11217 Phone: (718) 237-2211 Hours: M-F 9am - 5pm South Brooklyn District Office 445 Neptune Avenue, 1st Floor Community Room 2C Brooklyn, NY 11224 Phone: (718) 373-0033 Hours: M-F 9am - 5pm ToolsAccessibilityPrivacyCopyright Know Your Immigration RightsIf you or a loved one encounter immigration enforcement officials, it is essential that you know your rights and have prepared your household for all possible outcomes.Ask for a warrant: The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution protects you from unreasonable search and seizure.
