The #FascistInChief tried to fire "the Council on Integrity & Efficiency" #CIGIE "due to changing priorities"?

The T**** Administration has officially declared "Integrity & Efficiency" are no longer a "priority". 🤔

In a press release issued by the #OversightCommitteeDemocrats on October 3, 2024, Ranking Members #JamieRaskin and #BennieGThompson call for the removal of #InspectorGeneral of the US Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) #JosephCuffari following a damning independent report by the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (#CIGIE)

@tristansnell Next time Democrats have a trifecta, how about passing law for a Supreme Court Inspector General and / or IG umbrella group #CIGIE (Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency) #SCOTUS oversight?
