"After the two killings in Minneapolis, and I think there's a lot of video on them, Madam Secretary. I think people can see the video and draw their own conclusions. Are you and your department conducting an investigation of those?"
"I believe at the time you said these were acts of domestic terrorism, is that right? You said these appeared to be acts of domestic terrorism... What got my attention was that you blamed those statements on Mr. Stephen Miller at the White House, did you not?"
"Now, again, those videos are public. People can draw their own conclusions. I think it would be safe to say you got some pushback on that, but that would be fair—get some criticism. I'm not saying the criticism was accurate or inaccurate."
During a Senate hearing, Senator John Kennedy pressed DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on her response to two fatal ICE shootings of Minneapolis residents. Kennedy challenged Noem's characterization of the incidents as domestic terrorism and questioned whether she had attributed these statements to Stephen Miller, a top White House aide. Noem initially dodged direct answers, prompting Kennedy to note that her statements were on the record. Kennedy emphasized that video footage of the shootings was publicly available for people to review. When Kennedy asked if Noem blamed Miller for the domestic terrorism characterization, she denied making that attribution, leading Kennedy to counter that those statements were documented.
