DHS immigration hearing live: ICE and CBP grilled on cameras, training, protests, shootings

Video Description

ICE acting director Todd Lyons, CBP chief Rodney Scott, and USCIS director Joseph Edlow testified in a House Homeland Security oversight hearing as lawmakers pressed for answers on body cameras, training, protests, use-of-force policies, and accountability. The hearing opens with sworn testimony and opening statements from CBP, USCIS, and ICE. Lawmakers then press DHS leaders on the two Minnesota shootings, with the chair saying the incidents are under multiple investigations and asking whether agencies will provide “full and unabridged” findings to the committee once completed. DHS leaders also describe their training programs, including crowd-control and First/Second/Fourth Amendment instruction, and discuss whether recent hiring surges changed training timelines or curriculum. A major focus is transparency: lawmakers ask how many ICE and CBP personnel currently have body cameras, and whether footage will be released to the public. The hearing also includes sharp exchanges about protests, alleged “database” claims, and safety threats against officers — including disputed statistics cited by DHS leaders. Later, lawmakers show videos and question DHS leaders about the use of pepper spray and other force during operations, and ask about investigations and discipline. Another exchange raises questions about identification, masks, and how the public can distinguish agents from “bad guys.” The hearing repeatedly returns to Minnesota, including references to Operation Metro Surge and questions about cooperation, protest activity, and the aftermath of the shootings.
