After Minnesota killings, Capitol Hill representatives face stark reality about family safety

Most members of the American House of Representatives and the elders were not near Washington when he went to two homes Located in Minnesota, Two people were killed and two others were injured.
This is exactly what shook representatives of the United States and members of the Senate. They, too, were not in Washington. They were at home for the weekend.
Police accuses Vance Politre of killing a democratic state Minnesota, MP Melissa Hortmann Her husband, Mark. Potler was also accused of shooting Senator in Minnesota John Hoffman and his wife Evit.
All in their homes.
This is exactly what shook members of the American Senate and American actors. They were not in Washington.
“Minnesota was upset because” the suspect “went after the family,” said one of the members of the House of Representatives who faced threats and asked not to reveal his identity. “We have gone 50 percent of time. There are no longer lines.”
Congress It lives in the age of doxxing. People send pizza to their homes-an unlimited way to say, “I know where to live.” Satch.
He frightens legislators. But what shakes members to the core is when the threat is directed to their families. A message may be sent to school where their children are attending. On the horizon on the Minnesota massacre is a shooting of baseball in Congress for the year 2017, which almost killed The majority leader in the House of Representatives, Steve Scales, R does not. Then there for the year 2011 near the former actors. Gabriel Jeffords, De Areez, Ron Barber, De Areez.
“We must be proactive on our own,” one of the legislators said to Fox, who asked not to know him. “Not the reaction.”
Representative Hillary Scholdton, De Mish, canceled a meeting in the city hall with the voters this week after what happened in Minnesota.
“After I realized that my name was on a list connected to the last tragic fire in Minnesota, my office made a difficult decision to postpone the city hall planned in Moscowgon.” “Introduction to an abundance of caution and not to transfer additional law enforcement resources away from protecting the wider public at this time, this is the responsible choice.”
Officials found the names of dozens of members of the House of Representatives and the Senate in a list written by the alleged killer.
This asks the question: Can Congress security officials maintain the safety of legislators?

One Democrat applauded the efforts made by the US Capitol Police (USCP). But the legislator indicated that it was physically impossible for USCP to protect all members and their families around the clock throughout the week, in Washington and in their countries or their regions. USCP report more than 9400 good faith threat against legislators. Only USCP has been treated with a small part of these threats a decade ago.
Moreover, there was no information about the archers in the practice of baseball or Jeffords Hig.
It is one thing to track “well -known”. “The unknown” is more frightening.
So what do legislators do?
Capitol security officials and the American Capitol police briefed all members of the Senate of the threats they faced early on Tuesday morning.
“Rusin”, is how he described the minority in the Senate Dick Debine, DL, conversation. “The threat to public officials and families is very real, very large.”
The leader of the minority in the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez, wrote, Deno. , And MP Joe Morel, Dean. This is a box that the house allocates to each member to manage his office. Jeffrez and Morel asked Johnson a “significant increase”, so that legislators can enhance security services.
There is also a discussion about cleaning the personal information of the web or agreeing to the organxing legislation.
“The increase in violence, the threats of violence against members did not occur by chance. This happened because of the roughness of the discussion,” said Choch Shomer’s minority leader Chuck Schumer T.
This means that you can get all the security you want. But you cannot change how people think. What they decide to publish online. Or where do they decide to go?
Senator Mike Lee, R-R-Utah, removed two jobs on social media about the shooting in Minnesota in the middle of a barrage of criticism from the left and right. I had the equivalent of shooting at the “Marxists” and suggested that the governor of the state of Minnesota Tim and Alzal (D) was partly collecting responsibility for murders.
Senator Tina Smith, Die Min, tracked me in Mike Manfield room in Capitol on Monday night to express her dissatisfaction with jobs.
“Was he accepting your concerns?” Ryan Shmels asked from Fox News Radio.
Smith replied, “I would like to say that he seemed surprising to confront him.”
Senator Amy Klopuwshar, Die Men, also sought.
“I told him what I said publicly. This is not a little funny to an international,” said Kloposh. “We and Senator have a good discussion, and I am very happy because he took it.”
“Did you seem regret?” Really asked you.
“Contrite?” Lisa Degardan from the Newshour TV show.
“I will not go to our discussion, or I will not be able to accomplish things,” Klopuwshar answered. “But I will just say he took it.”
Later, I ignored a question about the reason why the posts were removed from his colleague Tyler Olson.
So legislators find themselves – again – try to reduce the temperature.
And finding solutions.
If there is no procedure, MP Jared Moskovic, D-Valey. Such a decision to transfer the House of Representatives to a secret session that needs to be voted. It is also special. This means that Moskovic can bypass the heads of home leaders and deposit the case on the ground. The House of Representatives can vote on effort or kill voltage.
The House of Representatives has not made a secret session since 2008 – and six of this only in the history of the Republic. If the members vote, they will be in the registry like opposing a secret session to discuss security.
But the consensus on what Congress wants – or if the American Capitol Police has what it is to treat – is an amazing suggestion. And ship USCP with a protection of 535 members. What about guarding legislators in their areas? This does not say anything about the family members.
Moreover, security officials tell Fox that there are many criticisms by members about the current security position – from those who do not benefit from the current programs provided by the House of Representatives and USCP.
A Republican source said that many legislators have failed to use security options: “They want to file a complaint a lot.”
Once again, why were the murders in Minnesota resonated with Capitol Hill.
Legionships are afraid of the pursuit and others who threaten them routinely. It is another level to target family members.
Some politicians run for his position to reach power. Others of glory. And some, for good old public service.

Their families did not nominate anything. Their names do not appear in voting. At the door of the committee. They are not on the wall in the Rayburn House office building.
But the names and addresses of family members on the Internet.
This frightens the lawmakers more.
