About this episode
House Judiciary Committee oversight hearings are intended to hold federal agencies accountable. But the latest session involving Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has become a flashpoint in the debate over immigration enforcement. While Noem received strong support from Republicans on the committee, Democratic lawmakers pressed her on several controversial issues, including the shooting deaths of two Americans during a federal operation and allegations that the Department of Homeland Security obstructed oversight investigations. USA TODAY National News Reporter Lauren Villagran joins The Excerpt to share her insights.
