民主党人敦促对DHS视频进行调查, 责怪民主党人关闭, Democrats urge investigation into DHS video blaming Democrats for shutdown, calling it a Hatch Act violation.

包括理查德·布卢门塔尔(Richard Blumenthal)、杰克·里德(Jack Reed)和玛丽亚·坎特韦尔(Maria Cantwell)在内的民主党参议员敦促特别顾问办公室调查由国务卿克里斯蒂·诺姆(Kristi Noem)指控民主党政府关闭的国土安全部录像, Democratic senators, including Richard Blumenthal, Jack Reed, and Maria Cantwell, are urging the Office of Special Counsel to investigate a DHS video featuring Secretary Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the government shutdown, alleging it violates the Hatch Act by using federal funds for partisan messaging. 这段 37 秒的视频在底特律和俾斯麦等一些机场播放，但被肯尼迪机场和奥黑尔机场等主要枢纽拒绝，被批评为误导性地归咎于共和党对国会和白宫的控制。 The 37-second video, shown at some airports like Detroit and Bismarck but rejected by major hubs including JFK and O’Hare, is criticized for misleadingly assigning blame while ignoring Republican control of Congress and the White House. 立法者要求删除视频, 公布制作成本, 并结束联邦机构的政治讯息。 Lawmakers demand the video be removed, production costs disclosed, and an end to political messaging by federal agencies. 美国国土安全部坚持认为这段视频是关于联邦雇员无薪工作的公开宣传. The DHS maintains the video is a factual public service announcement about federal employees working without pay.
