WATCH: Sen. Coons questions DHS Secretary Noem in oversight hearing

Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., questioned Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in an oversight hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday. Noem’s agency has been roiled by turmoil and public outcry in recent days. The shooting of two U.S. citizens by federal officers in Minneapolis prompted weeks of protests in the Twin Cities area. Trump officials, including Noem, accused the victims – Renee Good and Alex Pretti – of committing acts of “domestic terrorism.” But bystander videos challenged the administration’s narrative of the high-profile shooting deaths, and documented DHS deploying other aggressive tactics. Greater scrutiny by Democrats into the ways the Trump administration has been carrying out his mass deportation agenda led to a lapse in the agency’s funding and partial government shutdown. Congressional lawmakers have yet to reach a deal to fund the department, though there are areas of bipartisan agreement, such as a body camera requirement for immigration enforcement agents. Noem will also field questions Wednesday from the House Judiciary Committee. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
