Media Miss by the right: Paul calls on leaders of ICE, CBP and USCIS to testify
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has summoned the heads of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to testify before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which he chairs.
Paul is framing the hearing as a budget oversight review of congressionally approved immigration enforcement funds. In a letter to agency leaders, Paul noted that President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act allocates roughly $18.7 billion annually to ICE over four years.
The hearing is scheduled for Feb. 12.
Rep. Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., has also requested testimony from the same agencies in the House.
Media Miss by the left: Appeals court lifts force limits on agents in Minnesota
A federal appeals court has removed limits on federal law enforcement officers’ ability to use force on anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota.
The court ruled that a lower court judge’s injunction improperly restricted ICE agents’ ability to arrest or respond to protesters. Judges said the order was overly broad and vague, making it difficult to enforce.
The appeals court also cited video evidence showing a mix of peaceful and obstructive conduct during protests, concluding that the restrictions created confusion for officers in the field.
