Noem Testifies Amid Immigration Enforcement Criticism

0:00In Tampa Bay, it's March 3rd, and here's what is going on. Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome is testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee today. It's her first congressional appearance since two deadly shootings in Minneapolis earlier this year. On January 7th, an ICE officer killed Renee Good during protests. Then on January 24th, Customs and Border Protection Officers shot Alex Priti, a local resident filming their operations. This comes right after a weekend shooting at a Texas bar that's under investigation as possible terrorism. Nome faces heat from both Republicans and Democrats over how her department handles immigration enforcement across the country. Lawmakers and the public have reacted strongly to the Minneapolis incidents. Minnesota leaders and residents protested fiercely, raising alarms about officer conduct during enforcement actions. Democrats planned tough questions for Nome, accusing her team of excessive force and rights violations while pushing the administration's immigration.

1:01Goals Senate Democrat Dick Durbin called her leadership a harsh campaign against immigrants and families. Nome also heads to a House Committee tomorrow for more scrutiny. Officials say the hearings could shape debates on border security and accountability moving forward. This episode is supported by our sponsor.
