DHS faces blowback over its attack on a Democratic House candidate

The Department of Homeland Security faces backlash for publicly attacking Democratic congressional candidate Janelle Stelson less than a month before the midterm election. Her campaign threatens a lawsuit, and a watchdog group seeks an investigation into whether an ICE official violated restrictions on partisan political activity. DHS published a press release Wednesday announcing the arrest of an “illegal alien from Nigeria who exposed himself in public while working for congressional campaign in Pennsylvania.”
