CNN: DHS sends out Hatch Act memo days after secretary appears in RNC ceremony
The Department of Homeland Security sent an agency-wide email to its employees Thursday morning reminding them not to participate in partisan politics, citing “heightened scrutiny.”
The naturalization ceremony that acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf took part in during the RNC on Tuesday is just one of the acts under scrutiny for potential Hatch Act violations.
Every federal employee who worked to set this up violated the Hatch Act. Your tax dollars aren’t supposed to be used for political rallies. https://t.co/SOaqqQ4gNS
