Rep. Andrew Garbarino, a New York Republican who chairs the committee that oversees the Department of Homeland Security, sent a letter to the department requesting three top officials appear for questioning before the committee.

“As chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, my top priority remains keeping Americans safe and ensuring the Department of Homeland Security can accomplish its core mission,” Garbarino said in a statement. “Congress has an important responsibility to ensure the safety of law enforcement and the people they serve and protect.”

Garbarino requested that Immigration and Customs Enforcement senior official Todd Lyons, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edlow appear.

The public hearing would take place sometime in the next two months. Garbarino previously requested that senior DHS officials appear before the committee in a Jan. 15 letter.

1. Two months is like t's two weeks.

[chicoescuela]

2. Two months? How about tomorrow?

Two months might as well be never

[ancianita]

3. Right? Talk about a slow response party... The big announcement: "We'll get right on that."

[Bread and Circuses]

4. They will NOT appear. JD told them that they have immunity

[ancianita]

7. The polls show that they and JD are headed for the ash heap of history. They and JD the parrot know this.

5. Sad to say

but the general public is noticing that feds are now killing white people and it’s apparently making some Republicans nervous.

9. Hope so, they are all complicit in these killings

Andrew Garbarino. [phone]

[ancianita]

6. They know they can't question their boss's agency heads, so they do "oversight" talk.

They make their money in the dark, come and go in the dark, and will die in the dark.

8. Keeping Americans safe??? MOFO

And exactly what is the core mission of DHS??? Shoot to kill?

[ancianita]

10. They speak to assuage the guilt of the braindead base who can't admit they believe they're the real Americans who matter

[Exp]

11. Republicans are runing this country, I've been saying that since Reagan. nt

[ancianita]

12. Their Project 2025 owner/donors have been running them so it looks like Republicans have been running the country, yes

[Skittles]

13. do you mean "ruining"

[joshdawg]

14. Yep!

Starting with nixon..........

[Exp]

16. Since they don't know about running a country, ruining the country is the best guess. At least I didn't mis-spell a LBN

headline as I've seen done.

15. Big of him,

Don't request, sir--order them. Forthwith.
