Some Michigan members of Congress say they want more clarity about security procedures on Capitol Hill.
That comes as U.S. Homeland Security officials are issuing a warning that domestic terrorists are targeting elected officials and government facilities.
In a zoom call with the Economic Club of Washington D.C., Dearborn Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Dingell said she’s long been in the cross-hairs of some claiming to support former President Trump.
“I’ve been in his hate tunnel for a couple of years, where I’ve had the militia in front of my house…where my antenna is always up. They’re trying to make my life uncomfortable. I don’t think any of us really realized how serious it was, what the threats were.”
Homeland Security officials say the recent attack on the U-S Capitol appears to have em-boldened “violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition.”
It’s the first time the department has issued such a warning in about a year.
