Our client Leo Garcia Venegas and two other victims of DHS’s lawlessness got to introduce themselves to Secretary Noem today.

The room fell silent when they stood.

I want to know Secretary Noem's plan to stop masked ICE and CBP agents from killing American citizens like Renee Good and Alex Pretti. We can enforce our immigration laws without terrorizing American citizens and immigrant communities.

Florence ICE detainee dies after untreated tooth infection, official says An ICE detainee, who had been at a Florence detention center for four months, died Monday following an untreated tooth infection.

“Emmanuel Damas, 56, died while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, after struggling to receive timely medical care for a worsening toothache, Chandler City Councilwoman Christine Ellis told the Arizona Daily Star Tuesday afternoon." tucson.com/news/local/b...

Today, Secretary Noem takes some questions from House Judiciary Democrats. Here’s one: why are masked federal agents wreaking havoc in our cities—intimidating, attacking and killing both immigrants and American citizens?

I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody.

This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration.

This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.

Trump Escalates His War Against Dreamers As Senate Hearing Exposes Ongoing Government Waste and Abuses DHS has admitted to kicking out nearly 90 DACA recipients and detaining 261 others despite long-standing protections shielding them from deportation.

The U.S. government made a promise to #DACA recipients: follow the rules, pass background checks, renew your status, and you can live and work without fear.

"But under Donald Trump’s administration, that promise has been fundamentally broken."

DHS confirmed what the #HomeIsHere tracker has been warning us about for months: DACA recipients are being targeted, despite the protections DACA was created to provide.

📢 Congress must act NOW to deliver permanent protections and stability to DACA recipients.

"While President Trump has unleashed a new war in the Middle East, his existing war against immigrants and American communities continues unchecked and unabated." Vanessa Cárdenas Executive Director of America’s Voice

Statement from @vcardenas.bsky.social, Executive Director of America’s Voice on Trump's new war in the Middle East and his existing war here at home.

Vanessa Cárdenas: “While President Trump has Unleashed a New War in the Middle East, His Existing War against Immigrants and American Communities Continues Unchecked and Unabated” - America's Voice Washington, DC — The following is a statement from Vanessa Cárdenas, Executive Director of America’s Voice: “While President Trump has unleashed a new war in the Middle East, his existing war against ...

And in a classic example of ‘do as I say, not as I do,’ the Trump administration encourages the Iranian people to stand up and use their voices to speak out against repression while cracking down on the American people who are attempting to do the same here at home.

KLOBUCHAR: Alex Pretti's parents said what you said was one of the most hurtful things they could imagine. Do you want to say anything to Alex's parents?

NOEM: I did not call him a 'domestic terrorist.' I said it 'appeared to be an incident of'

KLOBUCHAR: I think the parents saw it for what it was

PADILLA: If President Trump or Stephen Miller directed you to send ICE agents to polling places, would you say 'no'?


NOEM: There is no plan to send ICE officers to polling locations. Are you planning on sending illegal aliens to vote?

PADILLA: No. That's already illegal

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

SCHIFF: Are you saying it's just fortuitous that $143m went to a subcontractor that you worked w/ extensively as gov of SD?

KRISTI NOEM: I had no choosing of contractors.

S: Can you state for record that you or Lewandowski had no communication with any agency involved?

N: To best of my knowledge

SCHIFF: Don't you think in aftermath of a shooting you should provide only vetted information? How will you gain the trust of people if you're pushing out false info about the shootings of American citizens?

NOEM: I work every day to get out factual information

SCHIFF: Well, you didn't that day

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Have you met with any citizens arrested and detained by DHS?

Noem: *dodges*

Blumenthal: I’d like to introduce you to three individuals who were wrongfully arrested by your department.

Detained citizens: *stand*

Blumenthal: U.S. citizens shouldn't be arrested.

@hispaniccaucus.bsky.social leadership strongly condemns DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's arbitrary and opaque targeting of DACA recipients by immigration enforcement agencies.

"FEMA is withholding hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grant money for Florida’s immigration lockups, like 'Alligator Alcatraz,' reportedly because a mandatory environmental review still hasn’t been completed."

Secretary Noem may not know it, but DACA recipients are being wrongfully deported.

Under the law, they are supposed to be protected from deportation.

Sen. DURBIN: Your agency arrested 261 DACA holders last year—and deported 86 of them. Why have you deported dozens of DACA holders?

Noem: We follow all laws.

Durbin: Why did you deport them?

Noem: I don’t know the details.

Sen. DURBIN: Madam Secretary, your DHS has operated without any moral compass or respect for rule of law. DHS agents have acted with unspeakable cruelty against children, immigrants, and American citizens.

Noem refuses to retract statements calling Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists Durbin asked Noem if she would like to retract her previous statements falsely calling Good and Pretti, who were both fatally shot by immigration agents in Minn

Noem refuses to retract statements calling Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists

Sen. Durbin: “You and your agency rushed to brand these victims as domestic terrorists…Do you retract these statements identifying these individuals as domestic terrorists?”

Noem: *does not retract her statement*

Noem starting her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning. Tomorrow, she'll do the House. Will we see some actual oversight or just lies?
