The #House #HomelandSecurity Committee started its hearing with the heads of Immigration and Customs Enforcement [#ICE], Customs & Border Protection [#CBP], & Citizenship & Immigration Services [#CIS].Unsurprisingly given the debate around #immigration enforcement happening in #Congress & the national outcry over the 2 #shootings in #Minnesota, the hearing room is packed.#law #DueProcess #UseOfForce #Sturmabteilung #CivilRights #Trump #tyranny https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02/10/us/trump-news/b7ea639d-b0d7-55aa-bae9-411e71703578?smid=url-share

Rep Andrew Garbarino of NY, the #Republican chair of the #HomelandSecurity Cmte, called for “complete & impartial investigations” into the #Minnesota #shootings. But he also criticized state & local jurisdictions for not cooperating with federal #immigration enforcement efforts & blasted #Democrats for withholding their support from a bill to fund #DHS.#law #DueProcess #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #Trump #tyranny

Garbarino, who represents a Long Island district, has been leading the cmte only since July. This hearing will put a high-profile spotlight on his “leadership” around an issue that has been difficult for #Republicans to navigate.#law #DueProcess #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #Trump #tyranny

Rep Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the top #Democrat on the committee, used his opening statement to criticize #federal #immigration enforcement agencies for avoiding congressional #oversight. #Democrats have sued the #Trump admin for blocking lawmakers from entering facilities for oversight visits, something required by a provision in the #law that funds #ICE.#HumanRights #DueProcess #CBP #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #tyranny

Thompson also spent considerable time criticizing #DHS Secretary #KristiNoem, who is not here. Thompson is one of several #Democrats calling to #impeach Noem. He said her department “has the blood of American citizens on its hands. But she takes no responsibility for anything,” Thompson said.#law #DueProcess #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #Trump #tyranny

In prepared remarks released before the House hearing ,Todd Lyons, acting director of #ICE, said he was encouraged that some #Minnesota officials were “signaling a willingness to cooperate with ICE” but that “promises are not enough.”He cast blame on public officials in Minnesota & other parts of the country, saying their anti-ICE rhetoric had “fomented violence.”#law #DueProcess #CBP #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #Trump #tyranny

Todd Lyons, acting director of #ICE, said that about 3,000 officers, out of roughly 13,000 in the field were equipped with #BodyCameras. Last week, #KristiNoem, #DHS secretary, said that all #immigration officers in #Minneapolis would be given body cameras & that the program would be expanded nationwide “as funding is available.”#law #DueProcess #CBP #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #Trump #tyranny

Lawmakers have started questioning the #immigration officials. Rep Andrew Garbarino, the #Republican chairman of the committee, said that his understanding was that the officials would not be able to fully answer questions about the #shooting deaths of #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti as they were being investigated.Some #Democrats on the panel are likely to ask questions about those #shootings.#law #DueProcess #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #Trump #tyranny

@Nonilex clearly the US government can't afford cameras as Trump is spending so much on himself.

Both Reps Andrew Garbarino & Bennie Thompson asked the heads of #ICE & #CBP about the training timeline & programs for their agents. Both agencies have been on a hiring spree, in part because of the massive funding that #Republicans gave them in last year’s domestic policy bill.The line of questioning addresses concerns raised since the #Minnesota #shootings about whether ICE & CBP are appropriately training agents before deploying them in the field.#law #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #Trump

Todd Lyons, the acting head of #ICE, refused to answer how many ICE agents had been fired or dismissed for #misconduct on the job. When pressed by Representative Eric Swalwell, Democrat of California, about whether at least one agent had been fired, Lyons said that he would get the data but that he could not disclose ongoing personnel information.#law #DueProcess #CBP #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #Trump #tyranny

Lyons refuses to apologize for the #Trump administration’s rush to describe #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti, the victims of fatal #shootings by #immigration officials, as “domestic terrorists”. He says he is open to speaking to the Good family in private but doesn’t want to respond publicly to the administration.#law #defamation #DueProcess #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #tyranny

#StephenMiller, the highly influential deputy chief of staff, described #AlexPretti as a “domestic terrorist” & assassin after he was shot by federal agents. After his comments prompted widespread backlash, including from #Trump allies, Miller said the admin based its early statements on information from border officials on the ground in #Minneapolis.#law #defamation #DueProcess #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #tyranny

By & large, #Republicans are defending the #Trump administration’s #immigration crackdown, while #Democrats are forcefully criticizing it. One exception was Rep Michael McCaul, Republican of Texas, who is retiring. He called on #ICE to stop “roving patrols” in American cities, even as he maintained that the admin was already successfully reorienting its #deportation campaign, which he framed as necessary.#law #DueProcess #CBP #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #tyranny

Lyons was asked whether he believed #AlexPretti or #ReneeGood deserved to die. He declined to answer, saying that he could not comment on investigations that were ongoing.While top #immigration officials cite ongoing investigations to tell lawmakers they can’t discuss the #shootings, it’s worth restating how quickly top admin officials defended the actions of the agents & smeared the victims.#law #DueProcess #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #Trump #tyranny

Rodney Scott, the commissioner of #CBP, was also asked whether #AlexPretti deserved to die. In response, Scott said he would not comment on ongoing investigations before all of the facts were gathered. An initial review by his agency’s internal watchdog found that Pretti was shot by a #BorderPatrol agent & a CBP officer.#law #murder #DueProcess #ICE #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #Trump #tyranny

Rep Tony Gonzales, Republican of Texas, asked Rodney Scott, the commissioner of #CBP, what members of #Congress could do to prevent events like those that took place in #Minneapolis. Scott called on lawmakers to “put laws in place that protect our officers & agents.”To which I say, “huh?”#CognitiveDissonance #law #DueProcess #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung #UseOfForce #CivilRights #Trump #tyranny

Scott declined to tell lawmakers how many agents have been disciplined for #misconduct in the recent #immigration crackdowns. Journalists & bystanders have documented numerous instances in which agents shoved & pepper-sprayed civilians. Lawmakers displayed a photo of a particularly jarring incident in Minneapolis during which an unmasked federal agent pepper-sprayed a man in the face at close range while pinned to the ground by other agents.#law #UseOfForce #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung #Trump
