Oversight of the Department of Homeland Security YouTube video by House Committee on the Judiciary

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.

Once again, a federal court affirms that Members of Congress have the right to conduct unannounced oversight visits of ICE detention facilities. The American people demand oversight, accountability and reform of the administration's inhumane immigration practices.

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.

Who’s it roaring for when you put a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid? You know what Medicaid funds? Families with children, pregnant women, seniors, people with disabilities. Meanwhile, a $1 trillion tax cut for the richest people

As journalists, we should be able to do our jobs without the threat of investigation, intimidation, or arrest. The Feds need to drop the charges against Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. Here's a strong statement from the Society of Professional Journalists.
