| This month, I spoke at a House Judiciary hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel as the witness to examine how badly trust in our nation’s top law enforcement agency was damaged under the last administration’s policies that placed politics ahead of public safety. What we saw during those years was unacceptable: Americans being unfairly targeted simply because of their faith or their beliefs. Catholics were labeled as threats for praying in their churches. Parents were branded as extremists for standing up at school board meetings. Hindu religious leaders here in New Jersey had their temples raided. Jewish students were harassed on college campuses. That is not how law enforcement in America should work. We cannot go back to a time when free speech was silenced and religion was targeted. I will continue to fight to restore accountability and make sure the FBI returns to its original mission: protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution.
