Slotkin: "The Trump Administration is talking about American citizens as if they are the enemy."

Published | Video Starts at 00:39

… the things I'm concerned about, especially in the last couple of weeks, is any possibility that NSA might be used inappropriately against American citizens. And you know, you know that NSA is governed by the National Security Act of 1947, an Executive Order 12 Triple 333 and even by FISA law that this body passed in as recently as 2024. And I think this is pretty relevant. We have the Secretary of Homeland Security, Stephen Miller, the Vice President of the United States, labeling people in Minneapolis as domestic terrorists and talking about American citizens as if they are the enemy. (00:39–00:51)

CLAIM

Asserts that NSA is governed by specific laws and an executive order.
