New DHS coordinating council is empty display of 'show and tell,' law enforcement leaders say
Fox News
Law enforcement advocates are skeptical of DHS's new Law Enforcement Coordination Council, telling Fox News the Biden administration will have to prove that it is not just an empty action created by the administration as a public display of “show and tell.”
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who will chair the council, said it will "ensure our law enforcement personnel and our law enforcement partners have the training and tools to execute their mission, including by protecting civil rights, civil liberties, and privacy."
Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith, spokeswoman for the National Police Association, slammed Mayorkas for not demonstrating the "professional capability or moral authority" to do his own job, let alone launch a new coordinating council.
