Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has come to the Senate to testify as backlash grows over deadly immigration enforcement actions tied to President Donald Trump's deportation push. Noem was sworn in Tuesday before the Judiciary Committee in her first hearing since two protesters were killed in Minneapolis by Homeland Security officers in January. Noem's department sent hundreds of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection officers to Minnesota. Protesters marched and tracked enforcement activity. An ICE officer shot Renee Good. Border Protection officers shot Alex Pretti. The deaths led to demands for accountability. Trump sent border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota. Homan has announced a drawdown of forces there.
