House Homeland Security to Grill ICE, CBP and USCIS Chiefs Feb. 10 After Minneapolis Agent Killings

The House Homeland Security Committee has set a Feb. 10 hearing where acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott and USCIS Director Joseph Edlow will testify amid intense scrutiny of federal immigration operations in Minneapolis. Chairman Andrew Garbarino, R‑N.Y., said the panel requested their appearance even before Border Patrol agents fatally shot Alex Pretti over the weekend, adding that 'transparency and communication are needed to turn the temperature down.' The hearing will be one of Congress’s first public forums to question top DHS component heads about the twin Minneapolis shootings and the broader Trump‑era interior enforcement surge, as protests, lawsuits and impeachment threats against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem mount. CBS reports Noem is expected to remain in her post but shift focus back toward the southern border and other priorities, and she is separately expected to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee in March. The session will test how far Republicans are willing to press their own administration on rules of engagement, oversight and civil‑rights protections while still backing Trump’s mass‑deportation agenda.
