Minnesota legislators’ shots have a safety review for the urgent congress

The weekend shots of Minnesota legislators have deeply shaken the members of the Chamber and the Senate.

The reason? “The Minnesota was discordant because (the suspect) went after his family,” said a member of the chamber that faced threats and asked for anonymity. “We left 50% of the time. There are no more lines.”

There is a briefing on the Senate level on the safety of members on Monday. The House Republicans received a virtual briefing late Saturday afternoon. The Democrats of the Chamber will receive a distant briefing on Tuesday.

The question is: what can Congress security managers do to ensure members’ safety?

An idea was to force the president of the Mike Johnson room, R -La., To leave the offices of the members have even more flexibility to use the money – than the Congress allocates to the operation of each office – to additional security measures. Fox is informed that this could allow individual offices to hire full -time protection details.

“Then they don’t need to give us more money,” said a member of the room.

A democrat applauded the American Capitol police, but stressed that it was physically impossible for the USCP to protect all members and their families 24/7, in Washington and their original states or districts.

He was also highlighted in Fox that there was no information on the shooters who have produced two of the most violent episodes involving legislators in recent years. This includes filming the Congressional Baseball in 2017 and the shooting of the former representative Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., In 2011.

“We must be proactive by ourselves,” said a legislator in Fox. “Not reactive.”

Fox is informed that he was also discussion on cleaning personal information from web legislators or approval of antidoxxing legislation.

Representative Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., Amount of DIY to force the Chamber to a “secret session” to debate the appropriate approach to the security of the congress. Such a resolution to move the room in a secret session requires a vote. It is also privileged, which means that Moskowitz could force the problem. Or, the room could vote to place it. The staff inside the session must sign an oath of secret.

The Chamber has not organized a clandestine session since 2008 – and only six of these conclaves in the history of the Republic. Moskowitz would like to bring members to the case to vote against a secret session for security. If they oppose it, legislators do not have the right to complain. Otherwise, he thinks they can really find a way to keep other members in security and their families.

Several legislators with whom Fox has spoken during the weekend said that the problem is that there is no consensus about how members want, or if the American Capitol police have means – depending on what the congress appropriated for this department – to ensure the safety of family members in 435 distant districts.

In addition, security officials and those of the GOP phone call said on Saturday that there had been many criticisms by members of the current security posture – of those who do not benefit from current programs.

“They really like to complain,” said a republican source of those who have not used the security options offered to them by the USCP.
