Thompson says DHS is working to preserve civil liberties

Staff

At the Center for American Progress’s discussion on the “State of Homeland Security,” Congressman and Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) says that preserving civil liberties is “an issue” for the department, and discusses his experience being “spied on” by the FBI during his youth as a civil rights activist. He said the committee is in the process of vetting every program that the department produces “to make sure that a nation of laws is also one that protects its citizens.” (1:17)
