WATCH: GOP Sen. Josh Hawley and State AG Keith Ellison Trade Insults in Heated Exchange | N18G

Heads of ICE and other immigration agencies set to testify at Senate hearing today | US Congress LIVE | CNBC TV18 Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison got into the first heated exchange of the hearing after Hawley repeatedly accused Ellison of helping people defraud his state and taking campaign contributions from them. "You don’t know what you’re talking about, sir," Ellison said. "Why did you take their money?" Hawley asked. "I didn’t," Ellison responded. "You helped fraudsters defraud your state and this government of $9 billion," Hawley then alleged. Ellison continued to flatly deny the senator's accusations. After another back-and-forth over Hawley calling Ellison "pal," the senator then said, "Well, I should call you a 'prisoner' because you ought to be in jail." Hawley later said Ellison should resign from his role, prompting Ellison to respond, "I was thinking the same thing about you. ... I was thinking the exact same thing about you." Top Trump immigration officials and Minnesota state leaders are testifying about the administrations aggressive and deadly immigration enforcement actions in that state and elsewhere at a hearing today before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. WITNESSES: Panel 1 Tom Emmer - Majority Whip, U.S. House of Representatives Harry Niska - GOP Floor Leader, State House of Representatives State of Minnesota Keith Ellison - Attorney General, State of Minnesota Paul Schnell - Commissioner, Department of Corrections State of Minnesota Panel 2 Joseph Edlow, Director, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Rodney Scott, Commissioner, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Todd Lyons, Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Director, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement The leaders of three major immigration agencies are set to testify before the House Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday following intense scrutiny over the administration's recent crackdown in Minneapolis. The oversight hearing, which gets underway at 10 a.m., will feature testimony from Todd Lyons, the acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement; Rodney Scott, the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection; and Joseph Edlow, the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The Jan. 7 shooting of Renee Good and the Jan. 24 shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents led to increased calls for congressional oversight of the administration's immigration operations. All three of the agencies fall under the Department of Homeland Security. While the officials had been invited to testify before Pretti's killing, the committee's GOP chairman formalized the invitation on the day of his death. #iceprotest #usimmigration #homelandsecurity #minneapolis #kristinoem #cnbctv18 #usatoday
