Democrats in the House of Representatives are investigating advertisements for the Ministry of National Security on Trump’s immigration policies

Democrats in the House of Representatives launched an investigation into the Trump administration’s advertising campaign on its immigration policies, saying that it may have violated federal spending instructions by strengthening political goals and giving contracts to administrative allies.

Democrats of the Internal Security Committee in the House of Representatives and the Supervision Committee for the House of Representatives and Government Reform investigate new advertisements launched by the Ministry of Internal Security (DHS), which praises Trump for immigration policies with the warning of migrants from traveling to the United States

Democrats note that the financing came after the president requested a declaration to thank him for his actions on the border, and that the contracts to do so went to companies linking the Trump campaign.

“Contrary to the“ DHS’s “DHS’s intention to the campaign, reports indicate that, in the explicit direction of President Donald Trump, the Ministry of National Security pays large sums to produce and distribute materials with the intention of praising the competing immigration policies of the President. Advisors wrote,“ MP Beni Tumson (MES), a member of the Internal Security Classification, and MP Jerry Honoli (D-VA), a member of the control ranking, to the Minister of National Security Christie sleep.

The letter said that the contracts were “multi -part delivery and an unlimited amount (IDIQ), which provides payments of up to 200 million dollars over two years.

The Ministry of National Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It is common for DHS to manage ads that encourage migrants not to come to the United States – the Biden administration did this in a number of languages.

But the message indicates that Trump may have another goal in mind, referring to a letter from Naim at the conservative political work conference for this year, which noticed that the president asked for the campaign.

He said, “I want you in ads, and I want your face in ads … but I want the first advertisement, I want you to thank me, so I want you to thank me for closing the borders.”

And I said, “Yes, sir, I will thank you for closing the borders.”

The first words of the announcement are “Thank you, President Donald Trump.”

While the Ministry of National Security also said that it plans to manage its ads “in countries and multiple regions in different dialects”, many of the primary media purchases that have been revealed indicated a wider local focus.

According to Politico, the advertisement was initially broadcast during the “Today” and “Good Morning America” ​​show, with a Spanish language version broadcast on the market with a large share of Spanish speakers.

But according to the message, there was also a “specific bus of $ 30,000 to broadcast ads in West Palm Beach … when the president was there.”

One contract was granted to people who believe LLC, owned by Gay Konoton, who held the position of media advisor for Trump’s 2016 campaign and recently worked with former Trump campaign director Cori Lewandowski.

Another contract worth $ 16 million was granted to Safe Aryica Media LLC, which was established by Republican Counselor McLWain just 11 days before the announcement of the advertising campaign.

None of the company immediately responded to the suspension requests.

“Given the great costs of the advertising campaign, the doubtful options that were taken in the publication of ads, the award’s relations with President Trump, the Trump campaign, and other federal officials, the committees seek to ensure that the contracting process is fair, moral and compatible with all the federal regulations applied.
