The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Monday defended its actions after officers briefly handcuffed a staffer of Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) last week.

DHS stated on social media platform X that Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers visited Nadler’s office on May 28 because they had received reports that protesters were present.
