Noem, Brennan clash over immigration in tense CBS interview

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.
