ICE Director and CBP Commissioner to Testify After Fatal Shootings

Amid a funding dispute in Congress and growing public disapproval of ICE’s immigration enforcement, senior officials, including Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons and CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott, are set to testify before the House Homeland Security Committee. This follows two fatal incidents involving federal officers and comes as polls indicate over 60% of Americans disapprove of ICE’s actions. Democrats demand greater accountability and reforms while Republicans plan a counterproposal to the Democrats’ funding demands. The DHS funding is at risk of expiration if no agreement is reached by Friday.
