    House Liberty Caucus opposes the reauthorization of the Department of Homeland Security

    The House Liberty Caucus — a group whose members are among the most libertarian and pro-civil liberties in Washington — has announced their opposition to H.R. 2825, known as the Department of Homeland Security Authorization Act.

    A statement from the caucus indicates irritation that the 575-page bill wasn’t made available to members of congress until nearly midnight on Monday, and the bill’s time for consideration wasn’t announced until Wednesday evening.

    "This will be the first reauthorization of the Department of Homeland Security since its inception 15 years ago,” a statement from the caucus reads. “This massive department was created through the combination of 22 different departments and agencies, and today its components include CBP, the Coast Guard, FEMA, ICE, and TSA—touching on privacy issues, border protection, immigration, cyber security, anti-terrorism, and disaster response efforts, among other things.”


    The caucus also calls for a debate within the House of Representatives for the bill, as it includes a massive amount of spending and representatives have had no time to discuss its provisions.

    “The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner
