This is yet another example of the Biden administration\u2019s failed policies making America less safe. DHS has a duty to protect the American people. This report indicates that the Biden administration is placing fear of COVID-19 above our national security. I\u2019m calling on Chairwoman Jackson Lee to hold a hearing so we can get to the bottom of this.\u201d\n\nRead the letter here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:57:46Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://biggs.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-biggs-we-must-hold-dhs-accountable"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6556479968130589, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
