Kristi Noem defends ICE actions in Minnesota in heated Senate hearing

From Global News.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended her department’s immigration enforcement tactics in front of a Senate committee Tuesday.

Noem fought back against criticism for her early characterization of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti as “domestic terrorists,” who were shot and killed by immigration agents during anti-ICE protests in Minnesota earlier this year.

This was the first time Noem appeared before the committee since their deaths, which spurred a general strike in Minnesota and a wave of national protests in response to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

Noem blamed “violent” protesters for contributing to the “chaos” that immigration officers encountered in Minnesota.
