Whip Clark: "I Will Not Rubberstamp the Federal Government's Use of Political Violence"

Published January 23, 2026 | Video Starts at 02:14

Stopping fentanyl trafficking, stopping child trafficking, stopping cartels. DHS is taking those investigators off of those cases and putting them on ICE raids. It is at the expense of our national security when the GOP can't even agree to common sense guardrails. It is clear this isn't about immigration. This isn't about security. This is about state sanctioned terror. This is about the political retribution of a vengeful president. (02:14–02:21)
