A spokesperson for Senator King's office said the victim was "not the target of the warrant" and "the spokesperson says that information comes from the head of the agency, DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullin.

NPR's Scott Horsesley reports. "Federal tax collections are up this year, but federal spending is growing even faster, nine months into the fiscal year, the government's more than $1.3 trillion in the red." Just paying interest on the government's accumulated debt has cost more
