Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 3, according to an aide for panel Chair Chuck Grassley, Politico reported on Monday.

The report comes amid mounting scrutiny of DHS immigration enforcement operations following two deadly shootings of U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis this month—Renee Nicole Good by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross on January 7 and Alex Jeffrey Pretti by U.S. Border Patrol agents on Saturday.

While Grassley—an Iowa Republican and U.S. Senate president pro tempore—has been negotiating for weeks to schedule Noem’s appearance as part of the committee’s regular oversight responsibilities for DHS, the March hearing is expected to be dominated by questions on the agency’s immigration enforcement tactics in light of the two killings.

    When has anyone from his administration been truthful under oath?

    When has anyone else actually done something about them lying under oath?

      They aren’t just lying, they’re actively disdainful of the bodies questioning them. I think they’re daydreaming of the point in the coup that they can throw them all in prison for sedition.
