US EditionNoem will testify in the Senate in her first appearance since 2 Minneapolis protesters' deaths
Kristi Noem faces Senate scrutiny over DHS partial shutdown and immigration enforcement after two U.S. citizens were killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, sparking bipartisan calls for accountability.
- The Senate Judiciary Committee convenes today in Washington for testimony from Kristi Noem, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, in a live-streamed hearing at 9 a.m. ET.
- Following shootings in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 and Jan. 24, House Democrats demanded oversight, prompting Noem to testify today about DHS operations; she labeled victims 'domestic terrorists' before investigations.
- Funding for the 260,000-employee Department of Homeland Security lapsed on Feb. 14, leaving it the only unfunded cabinet department while some workers miss paychecks and TSA operations face disruptions.
- Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley will press Noem on killings and tactics, citing `Let me be clear, one death is too many`, and may question her adviser Corey Lewandowski's actions.
- Noem's role fits into the administration's broader mass-deportation campaign as she oversees efforts with more than 675,000 deportations and about 3,000 federal officers deployed in Minnesota, raising stakes ahead of the November midterm elections amid reported war with Iran.
