The people of Jackson deserve safe neighborhoods, effective law enforcement, and access to the resources that help prevent crime before it happens, said Congressman Thompson. “This $100 million investment will give the city an opportunity to strengthen its public safety efforts while addressing some of the underlying challenges that affect our communities. I am pleased to see Jackson receive this funding, and I look forward to seeing how these resources will benefit residents across our capital city.”
The $100 million award will support the City of Jackson’s efforts to strengthen law enforcement, improve crisis response, expand mental health services, address substance abuse, and invest in programs aimed at reducing crime and reducing repeat offenses.

Congressman Thompson Responds to Liquidation of Jackson Area Federal Credit Union
Position: The release expresses concern for members of the liquidated Jackson Area Federal Credit Union and calls for an orderly, transparent transition and accountability from NCUA regarding the circumstances of the liquidation.
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Bennie G. Thompson (MS-02) issued the following statement following notification from the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) that Jackson Area Federal Credit Union (JAFCU) has been liquidated and that Five Star Credit Union has assumed its member share accounts:
“Jackson Area Federal Credit Union has served thousands of families, public employees, and members of the Jackson and Hinds County communities for decades. The liquidation of this longstanding institution is a serious development, and my primary concern remains protecting the members who entrusted their hard-earned money to this credit union.
“NCUA has assured my office that members transferring to Five Star Credit Union will experience no interruption in service and that federally insured accounts remain protected through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. Members deserve a transition that is orderly, transparent, and protects their access to their money.
“While protecting members must come first, the liquidation of Jackson Area Federal Credit Union also raises serious questions about the circumstances that brought the institution to this point. My office will continue engaging with NCUA to ensure there is full transparency and accountability regarding what occurred, how members were affected, and what steps are being taken to protect them moving forward.”
On September 30, NCUA facilitated a partial purchase and assumption agreement under which Five Star Credit Union purchased certain JAFCU assets and assumed its member share accounts. NCUA subsequently liquidated JAFCU.
According to NCUA, individual accounts remain federally insured up to $250,000, with separate coverage applying to certain joint and retirement accounts. Members with questions regarding their accounts may contact Five Star Credit Union at (888) 619-1711, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Thompson Marks 25th Anniversary of the September 11 Attacks
Position: The release commemorates the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks and argues that current administration actions, including cuts to national security staff, undermining cybersecurity, threatening TSA privatization, and withholding counterterrorism funding, weaken homeland security.
(WASHINGTON) – Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the following statement on the 25th Anniversary of the September 11th, 2001 Attacks.
“Twenty-five years later, the pain of September 11th has not faded. We remember the nearly 3,000 people who were taken from their families and the extraordinary courage shown by first responders and ordinary citizens alike. The best way to honor them is to make sure our country never suffers a tragedy like that again.
“After 9/11, we worked across party lines to strengthen our homeland security. Today, those protections are being weakened as threats continue to evolve. Cutting national security staff, undermining cybersecurity, threatening TSA privatization, and withholding counterterrorism funding create dangerous security gaps. We should be working together to close gaps, not senselessly creating new ones.
“We must be clear-eyed about the world we live in – and strive to uphold our American values as we seek to secure our people and our homeland. We owe it to the Americans who lost their lives on 9/11 to ensure our government is focused on the most pressing threats facing the Nation so that, together, we can help defend the homeland against them.”

Congressman Thompson Statement Regarding the Trump’s Justice Department Effort to Vacate January 6 Seditious Conspiracy Convictions
Position: Rep. Thompson opposes the Trump administration's effort to vacate seditious conspiracy convictions from January 6 defendants, arguing that reversing these convictions would undermine the rule of law and erode public trust in the justice system.
Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS) released the following statement regarding the Justice Department’s Effort to Vacate January 6 Seditious Conspiracy Convictions:
“It is completely heinous for the Trump administration to attempt to erase seditious conspiracy convictions from those who attacked our democracy and the United States Capitol on January 6. Not only does it attempt to rewrite history, it completely subverts the rule of law.
“The unpatriotic leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were convicted by their peers and fairly so. They should have served their entire sentences. Reversing these convictions would erode public trust in the justice system and would signal that politically motivated violence in service to Trump carries zero consequence. While Trump’s presidency is already an abject failure, he must not be allowed to do even more damage to the rule of law.”
Ranking Member Thompson Statement on Trump’s Deranged Threats on Iran
Position: Rep. Thompson opposes Trump's military threats against Iran, characterizing them as reckless escalation that endangers U.S. troops and civilians. He calls for Congress to reconvene and end the conflict, arguing the administration has not articulated clear war objectives.
April 7, 2026 (WASHINGTON) – Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the below statement on Donald Trump’s heinous – and sociopathic – threats against Iran:
“Donald Trump’s threats to destroy Iran are completely deranged. They show the world that our country’s so-called leader is nothing more than a sadistic maniac who will stop at nothing to get whatever he wants. Threatening and targeting civilian infrastructure – and civilians – is not leadership – it is a dangerous abuse of power and potential war crime.
“The American people deserve steady, moral, and responsible leadership – not reckless escalation that puts our soldiers in harm’s way and makes the homeland vulnerable to retaliation.
“The American people also clearly want us out of this war. They have yet to hear anything coherent from the President – or his subservient minions – on what our objectives are or why we are at war.
“Congressional Republicans must call Congress back to D.C. so we can end this war. I hope my Republican colleagues will agree with us – anything less is complete complicity with Trump’s insanity.”

Ranking Member Thompson: Trump Attacking Iran Endangers Homeland Security
Position: Rep. Thompson opposes unilateral military action against Iran without congressional approval, arguing that such attacks increase vulnerability to terrorism and undermine homeland security.
February 28, 2026 (WASHINGTON) – Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the below statement on President Trump attacking Iran again:
“Once again, President Trump has attacked Iran without Congressional approval or a clear strategy. As I’ve said before, we are more vulnerable to ensuing terrorism attacks today because of Trump’s reckless, inflammatory actions. I am deeply concerned about the administration’s attention to possible threats and its ability to protect Americans.”
