Today I submitted a formal casework request to Senator Gary Peters, Chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which oversees federal agencies including the Department of Homeland Security, the agency responsible for coordinating the nation’s fusion centers and overseeing private contractors operating under its authority.

This marks the second Senate office I’ve engaged following outreach to Senator Ron Wyden of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Together, these two offices represent the key points of federal oversight for both the intelligence and homeland security systems involved in contractor operations.

Senator Peters’s office maintains a casework portal that allows constituents to request direct assistance with federal agencies. Through that channel, I have filed a formal request asking his office to intervene and mediate with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General regarding ongoing unlawful surveillance, coordinated harassment, and chemical exposure linked to fusion center and private contractor activities.

Here is the statement I submitted verbatim:

I am requesting assistance with ongoing unlawful surveillance, wiretapping, coordinated harassment and chemical exposure that I and others have experienced, which appear connected to fusion center and private contractor activities under the Department of Homeland Security. Local law enforcement has declined to investigate, citing lack of tools to detect and confirm chemical exposure. Without a formal police report, victims like myself are effectively barred from pursuing any legal remedies, leaving us exposed to continued harm and denied due process.

Time is of the essence for myself and others who are being exposed. Prolonged chemical exposure once arriving at toxic thresholds can lead to severe and potentially irreversible harm. Immediate federal review and intervention are necessary to prevent further injury.

I am asking for Senator Peters’s help in ensuring that the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General immediately review and investigate these activities of both fusion centers and private contractors, take action to stop these ongoing abuses and address accountability gaps that have allowed these abuses to begin and persist in the first place.

I am requesting immediate federal intervention to stop the ongoing unlawful surveillance, harassment, and chemical exposure. I am asking that the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General conduct a formal investigation into the actions of fusion centers and private contractors, ensure accountability for any abuses of authority, and implement safeguards to prevent further harm to myself and others.

I am also asking that appropriate detection tools and investigative resources be made available to law enforcement so that victims can obtain formal reports, access legal remedies, and be protected from continued exposure.

Senator Peters’s committee has jurisdiction over Homeland Security oversight, including the Office of the Inspector General making his office uniquely positioned to ensure these concerns are reviewed at the federal level.

This filing represents another major step in documenting and addressing these systemic failures through lawful and verifiable channels. Each action from outreach to Senator Wyden’s office to this new casework filing builds the public record of accountability and reform that we have been fighting for.

Transparency and persistence remain the path forward. I’ll continue to document each milestone as we press for oversight, justice, and systemic reform.

In solidarity,

Tamara
