You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as the Gestapo or the secret police

encourages threats against ICE agents.

The problem is you have it backwards, sir.

People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American,

an outright fascist. So I have a simple suggestion. If you don't want to be called a fascist

regime or secret police, then stop acting like one.

But people are simply just observing what they are seeing.

And that's why people are making those comments.

Hi again, everyone. It's now 5 o'clock in New York.

That was Congressman Dan Goldman confronting DHS officials at the first hearing on Capitol Hill since the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Petty at the hands of federal agents, a hearing that served as a tangible warning as ICE seems to grow more lawless that DOJ leadership views itself as unaccountable to the folks in the room,

to members of Congress.

With Homeland Security Secretary Kristy Noem absent, she was doing a podcast, it appears,

along with Border Tsar Tom Homan and former Border Patrol Commissioner at large, Greg Bovino,

DHS Commissioner Rodney Scott was unable or unwilling to answer whether agents had been

disciplined or fired for using excessive force.

And Commissioner Scott and ICE director Todd Lyons refused to answer a question that might

seem obvious to most people.

Watch that.

Commissioner Scott, did the ICU nurse, Alex Freddie, deserve to die?

I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation, sir.

Director Lyons, did Renee Good deserve to die?

Sir, I can't comment on ongoing investigations.
