The #House #HomelandSecurity Committee started its hearing with the heads of Immigration and Customs Enforcement [#ICE], Customs & Border Protection [#CBP], & Citizenship & Immigration Services [#CIS].
-
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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.”

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.

@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.

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.

@Nonilex and if there's so much money, what's the excuse for starving and storing people in filth?

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.

#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.

I don’t see the public or the Congress getting much out of this committee hearing.
Though #Republicans voiced dismay & skepticism of federal #immigration enforcement operations in the immediate aftermath of #AlexPretti’s killing, that outrage seems to have dissipated in the weeks since & faded back into partisan immigration politics.

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.

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.

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.
