DHS anonymous employees call for IG resignation

———— Excerpt:
Cuffari has gotten wrapped up in quite a few scandals since he was appointed to the role by former President Donald Trump in 2019. Most recently, he’s been embroiled in an ongoing scandal related to the attack on the Capitol complex on January 6th. After a former White House aide testified before the House select committee investigating the attack that Trump had had an altercation with the Secret Service on Jan. 6, Congress renewed its year-old inquiry for written correspondence from employees across several agencies, including the DHS.
They later found out that almost all of their text messages were deleted — and that Cuffari had known for months, but had not made the fact public.
There were other controversies. Earlier this year, Cuffari garnered unfavorable attention when watchdog groups revealed that he had not published a federal watchdog report finding that over 10,000 DHS employees said they’d experienced sexual harassment or misconduct. After the unpublished reports were revealed, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the drafts “underscore the need for immediate action.”
