House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is now actively investigating the circumstances of a deadly federal law enforcement raid on the home of Little Rock, Arkansas, airport director Bryan Malinowski on March 19.

Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ (ATF’s) Little Rock field office had suspected Mr. Malinowski—executive director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport—of selling firearms without a license and without conducting background checks. The ATF had obtained a warrant to search his home and arrived at the man’s home at about 6 a.m. on March 19 wearing full tactical gear.
