House Democrats are investigating whether Kristi Noem’s Department of Homeland Security has hired January 6 rioters and others connected to the Capitol attack as Donald Trump’s administration launches a hiring spree for his mass deportation campaign.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, is asking for hiring records and other information to determine whether any of the roughly 1,600 people charged in connection with the attack are among the ranks of masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection officers “that have dragged, tackled, beaten, tased, shot, and killed citizens and non-citizens alike in communities across the country.”
