Washington, D.C. - Representative Ashley Hinson of Iowa's 2nd Congressional District questioned D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser during a House Appropriations hearing. The discussion focused on crime policies, immigration law enforcement, and the return of federal employees to in-person work.
In her initial questioning, Rep. Hinson addressed the impact of lenient crime policies on public safety and local law enforcement.
The second line of questioning involved compliance with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer orders. Mayor Bowser committed to compliance while under oath.
Rep. Hinson concluded by expressing concerns that the push for D.C. Statehood might be an attempt by Democrats to gain full control of Congress, influence the Supreme Court, and implement a radical policy agenda.
