  • An undocumented immigrant charged with killing a young Iowan while drag racing drunk skipped his court appearance and remains at large after immigration authorities ignored requests to detain him. I’m seeking an explanation for why the Obama Administration failed to act.
  • I’m asking the Justice Department why it appears to have prosecuted so few IRS impersonation scams, despite the vast prevalence of such crimes.
  • The United States needs to enforce unfair trade practices. Here’s the latest example.
