A House Democrat halted a committee hearing on illegal marijuana-growing operations with a call to subpoena Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for how the department’s law enforcement officers have been “terrorizing” illegal immigrants in the United States.

During a House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability hearing, Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) played two clips of arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers as they intercepted suspected illegal immigrants on the street, which she said also mandated oversight by the committee rather than the topic of the hearing.
