Congressman Robert Garcia Applauds Long Beach Airport’s Decision to Reject Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem’s Political Propaganda

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Robert Garcia (CA-42) released the following statement following the City of Long Beach and Long Beach Airport’s decision to reject Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem’s request to display a partisan video inside the airport terminal.

“I commend the City of Long Beach and the Long Beach Airport for rejecting Secretary Kristi Noem’s request to play a partisan and outrageous video at our airport terminal.

The video message violates federal and state laws and is a clear effort to use government resources for President Trump’s personal and political vendettas.

As the Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee, we have also launched an investigation into Secretary Noem’s actions, and the deliberate misuse of taxpayer dollars and government resources for blatant political purposes. We will hold the Trump Administration accountable,” said Congressman Robert Garcia.
