flag Democrats urge investigation into DHS video blaming Democrats for shutdown, calling it a Hatch Act violation.

flag Democratic senators, including Richard Blumenthal, Jack Reed, and Maria Cantwell, are urging the Office of Special Counsel to investigate a DHS video featuring Secretary Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the government shutdown, alleging it violates the Hatch Act by using federal funds for partisan messaging. flag The 37-second video, shown at some airports like Detroit and Bismarck but rejected by major hubs including JFK and O’Hare, is criticized for misleadingly assigning blame while ignoring Republican control of Congress and the White House. flag Lawmakers demand the video be removed, production costs disclosed, and an end to political messaging by federal agencies. flag The DHS maintains the video is a factual public service announcement about federal employees working without pay.
