On Capitol Hill, Democratic lawmakers repeatedly called on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign as they confronted her on Trump’s immigration crackdown during a heated House Homeland Security Committee hearing Thursday. Noem stood defiant, defending Trump’s nationwide raids, mass deportations and the use of force by federal agents. Noem’s opening statement was briefly interrupted by protesters, one of whom chanted, “Get ICE off our streets! Stop terrorizing our communities!” Democratic lawmakers accused Noem of lying and corruption. Meanwhile, Congressmember Delia Ramirez of Chicago, the daughter of Guatemalan immigrants, announced she’s taking the first steps to impeach Noem. This is a portion of Representative Ramirez’s remarks to Noem.

Rep. Delia Ramirez: “You lied on the record, and you lied to members of this committee. You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador, where we know that hundreds of people, under your leadership, have reported that they were raped, they were beaten, and they nearly died. And your agents used chemical weapons in Chicago despite court orders from District Court Judge Ellis forbidding their use.”

We’ll be joined by Congressmember Delia Ramirez later in the broadcast.
