Noem, Brennan clash over immigration in tense CBS interview
TL;DR Summary
In a heated Face the Nation exchange, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pressed CBS’s Margaret Brennan on Biden-era immigration policy, arguing open-border policies have led to unvetted arrivals and disputing crime statistics among detainees (Noem cited about 70% with or facing charges versus Brennan’s DHS-based 47%). She dodged questions about the health/status of ICE agent Jonathan Ross involved in a Minneapolis shooting and emphasized ongoing reviews of the incident and agency actions, while criticizing Minnesota officials as appropriate investigations unfold.
