Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 3, according to an aide for panel Chair Chuck Grassley, Politico reported on Monday.
The report comes amid mounting scrutiny of DHS immigration enforcement operations following two deadly shootings of U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis this month—Renee Nicole Good by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross on January 7 and Alex Jeffrey Pretti by U.S. Border Patrol agents on Saturday.
While Grassley—an Iowa Republican and U.S. Senate president pro tempore—has been negotiating for weeks to schedule Noem’s appearance as part of the committee’s regular oversight responsibilities for DHS, the March hearing is expected to be dominated by questions on the agency’s immigration enforcement tactics in light of the two killings.
Exactly this. I imagine the exact same type of response we received from Bondi except with an added bonus of a marble-mouthed Midwest accent escaping from slobbery overinflated lips.
