The Department of Homeland Security’s top watchdog is recommending that the agency’s chief Kirstjen Nielsen punish a top official who is refusing to cooperate with the department’s inspector general as part of a high-profile retaliation probe, according to a memo released Thursday by a trio of congressional Democrats.
The Democrats — House Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel, House Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings, and Senate Foreign Relations Ranking Member Bob Menendez — are demanding that Nielsen follow the inspector general’s recommendation to discipline Christine Ciccone, the assistant secretary for legislative affairs.
“It is outrageous that a senior Department of Homeland Security official has not complied with requests of the Inspectors General of the Departments of State and Homeland Security,” the lawmakers said in a joint statement. “Targeting of career government employees at the State Department, US Agency for International Development or any federal agency is unacceptable, and it is imperative that this kind of behavior not be tolerated.”
They also demanded that Nielsen update their committees by Friday “on how the department is ensuring that Ms. Ciccone upholds her responsibility to cooperation with the inspector general’s review.”
