Report: Devin Nunes’ Family Farm Was Secretly Moved to Iowa From California
Reuters / Christinne Muschi


The family dairy farm of Rep. Devin Nunes secretly relocated from central California to Iowa more than a decade ago, where it’s reported to rely heavily on undocumented immigrant labor. The California Republican, who’s chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and a close ally of President Trump, has made much of his California farm upbringing and ties to agriculture—but failed to publicly disclose the relocation of the family farm since it happened in 2006. Esquire reports the secrecy could be due to an alleged reliance on undocumented labor at the farm and the region’s dairy industry in general. “I’ve been there and bring illegal people,” an unnamed source told Esquire, asserting that the Nunes family was aware of that status. “People come here and ask for work, so I send them over there.” During the course of researching the article, Anthony Jr. Nunes allegedly said that he was hiring a lawyer and that he was convinced that his dairy would soon be raided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. Neither Anthony Jr. nor Devin Nunes commented.

There's lots of congress critters who don't actually live in their districts.
My senator (ugh) Grassley lives in Virginia.

Santorum lived in Maryland I believe while a senator from Pennsylvania. There was a congress critter in the Duluth area who lived in New York - believe his wife taught at CCNY.

Pat Roberts of Kansas hasn't lived in Kansas for a long time.......

The FEC doesn't seem to give a rats ass about anything anymore. Republican State registration boards will come after you with bloodhounds for slight irregularities on your voting registration. But if you're a big shot Republican candidate, the federal agencies basically let you do what you want.

We'll see if California is interested in doing anything about this.
