Sen. Mark Kelly announced that he will vote against funding for the Department of Homeland Security, citing concerns over the deployment of masked federal agents on U.S. streets. In a statement posted on X, the Arizona Democrat said such practices undermine transparency and accountability, calling them “un-American.”
Kelly argued that the presence of unidentified federal officers erodes public trust in law enforcement and raises serious constitutional questions. He warned that allowing federal agents to operate without clear identification creates confusion and fear, particularly in communities already wary of aggressive enforcement tactics.
The senator emphasized that his opposition to the funding bill is not a rejection of border security or public safety, but a stand against what he described as a growing pattern of unchecked federal authority. According to Kelly, accountability must remain a core principle of any law enforcement operation conducted within the United States.
In his post, Kelly also urged citizens who share his concerns to take action by contacting their senators and representatives. He called on Congress to put an end to what he described as increasing chaos in federal enforcement and to ensure that all agencies operate in a manner consistent with American democratic values and the rule of law.
