Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem declined to retract her earlier characterization of Alex Pretti and Renee Good as engaging in "domestic terrorism" during testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, despite repeated questions from lawmakers in both parties.
The hearing marked Noem's first appearance before Congress since the January 7 shooting of Good and the January 24 shooting of Pretti by federal immigration agents. Both deaths occurred during enforcement operations that drew national attention.
