DHS and TSA Suggest Targeting of Political Opponents by Former Biden Administration Officials, Refers Case to Congress & Justice Department

Source: TSA Former Biden-era officials abused authority by using TSA watch lists to target political opponents The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the results of an internal investigation that they claim uncovers widespread abuses committed by Biden administration officials, who weaponized the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) against innocent American citizens.
