On Monday Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), ranking member of the Committee on Homeland Security, launched a new website for employees of the Department of Homeland Security and its component agencies who were fired by President Trump to share their stories, his office has announced.

“With the Trump Administration wreaking havoc on the entire federal workforce, it is critical for us determine the impact on our country’s homeland security,” Thompson said.“We need a federal government that is fully functional and can keep the country secure.

“That is why we have commenced an investigation into Trump and Elon’s mass firings of critical personnel at the Department of Homeland Security – and its many component agencies – that keep us safe around the clock and work on the frontlines during disasters or terror attacks. If you were terminated from your position and want to share your story with us, please visit our new site. We will keep your information confidential and only share your story with your permission.”
