Homeland Security Secretary Noem Faces Senate Scrutiny Over Immigration Enforcement

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faced Senate Judiciary Committee questioning over federal immigration enforcement tactics following the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis. Noem's leadership has drawn bipartisan criticism for aggressive immigration measures and civil rights concerns, including her early labeling of the victims as "domestic terrorists." Congressional funding for DHS remains stalled amid calls for changes, and House Democrats have pursued impeachment efforts citing oversight and contract issues, though success is uncertain with Republican control.
