Luján Statement on New Portal for Whistleblowers to Bring Attention to Potential Lawlessness Under Trump Administration

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M) issued the following statement regarding the announcement that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member Gary Peters (D-MI) have created a new portal for federal employees who want to disclose information about wrongdoing, abuses of power, and threats to public safety:

“In just three weeks, President Trump has shown New Mexicans that his administration is willing to disregard the rule of law, recklessly terminate civil servants, and disband government agencies that Americans depend on. Senate Democrats are committed to holding the Trump administration accountable and courageous whistleblowers will be invaluable to the mission of providing a check on the Executive Branch. I commend Leader Schumer and Senator Peters for leading this effort to bring attention to any wrongdoing, and I remain committed to protecting New Mexico values and exposing any lawlessness that occurs under this administration.”

Today, in a public letter to federal civil service employees and public servants, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member Gary Peters (D-MI) wrote that Senate Democrats have launched a new portal for individuals interested in reporting wrongdoing, abuses of power, and threats to public safety. In the first three weeks of his administration, President Trump has shown a blatant disregard for the rule of law and a callousness for New Mexicans and the American people. From the DOGE takeover of the Treasury Department to the federal funding freeze, this administration has wreaked havoc on programs that thousands of New Mexico families, seniors, students, veterans, and others have come to depend upon.
