1:38Now PlayingMinnesota's governor and attorney general told lawmakers that the Trump administration's immigration crackdown hurt their state's efforts at fighting fraud. Tim Walz and Keith Ellison appeared at a House Oversight Committee hearing Wednesday. The committee chair, James Comer, accused them of, in his words, not being good stewards of the taxpayer dollars.
Walz and Ellison, in turn, tried to put the hearing's focus on the surge of federal agents to Minnesota in recent months, calling it political retribution at an unparalleled scale.
That testimony came as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faced a second day of questioning over her oversight of the administration's immigration crackdown, including in Minnesota.
Republican Committee Chair Jim Jordan praised what he called her amazing record on immigration, while Democrat Jamie Raskin accused her of a smear campaign against Alex Pretti and Renee Good, two Minnesota residents killed by federal agents whom Noem had claimed had links to domestic terrorism.
