the report that she issued today? i hope so. i serve on homeland security. i will certainly talk to the chairman. it seems like it s right for our committee to see, certainly oversight should take a look at it. and this is not the first time. a report was done several months ago addressing overcrowding. this report, if you look at it, says, again, as though this is happening again. and, you know, one of the concerns that i have, lawrence, is whether this is whether this is just part of the disregard for treating people like humans, the disregard for dignity and respect that everybody deserves. it s happening to children. it s happening to adults. and it s completely unacceptable. everybody should be outraged at the human rights abuses happening at the southern border and at these facilities. well, when jennifer costello was in the inspector general s office at the state department, the republicans in the house of representatives called her up to testify about hillary clinton s
general of the homeland security department did today, condemning the dangerous overcrowding and prolonged detention of children in border patrol facilities in the rio grande valley. jennifer l. costello, the acting inspector general, did something unusual in a government memo, she actually signed her name to it, right there on the front. now, you don t see that very often in government memos because it s not necessary. that seems to be jennifer costello s way of claiming this as her own, perhaps saying if the president s going to fire someone for writing this report, it s going to be me. jennifer costello has been here before. she has told the hard truth before in an inspector general s report under great pressure when she worked in the obama administration. jennifer costello was in the office of inspector general in the state department in the obama administration. and she was the team leader on
1970s, the inspector general act was passed in 1978, requiring departments to have an inspector general, one who would investigate what that department is actually doing and tell the truth. that is what inspector generals are supposed to supposed to do. and that is what the inspector general of the homeland security department did today, condemning the dangerous overcrowding and prolonged detention of children in border patrol facilities in the rio grande valley. jennifer l. costello, the acting inspector general, did something unusual in a government memo, she actually signed her name to it, right there on the front. now, you don t see that very often in government memos because it s not necessary. that seems to be jennifer costello s way of claiming this as her own, perhaps saying if the president s going to fire someone for writing this report, it s going to be me. jennifer costello has been here
the state department s inspector general report on former secretary of state hillary clinton s emails that came out in the last year of the obama administration, and that report said at a minimum secretary clinton should have surrendered all emails dealing with department business before leaving government service, and because she did not do so, she did not comply with the department s policies that were implemented in accordance with the federal records act. a lot of democrats didn t want to read that report three years ago when jennifer costello s team delivered it, and no republicans, and especially no one in the trump white house is going to want to read jennifer costello s report today, which she labeled an emergency management alert, saying in the first line, in italics, dhs needs to address dangerous overcrowding and prolonged detention of children and adults in the rio grande valley.
