We take seriously our responsibility to protect the civil rights and liberties of the American people, including subjecting our activities to rigorous oversight from numerous internal and external sources.”

Without authorization? Didn’t SHE get out there and talk about it positively, or am I thinking of something else?
wow just a few months into the administration and they're already admitting they don't know what the heck their people are doing (never mind that she's lying through her teeth).
Was there a real conservative who did not foresee the nightmare scenario of DHS?
