Top Republican on ICE funding committee questions Noem over Minnesota killings: ‘Not in a good place’

Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) on Monday expressed notable skepticism about Minnesota Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, signaling that pivotal Republican House support for the Trump administration is on shaky ground.

“I’ll tell you this: There needs to be a pivot in the whole operation. Because regardless of what side of immigration enforcement you’re on, we are not in a good place right now,” he told the Nevada Independent.

Amodei chairs the House committee that leads negotiations to secure funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE. His concerns about how the Trump administration is strategizing immigration operations come at a particularly significant time, as the deadline for Congress to approve an appropriations package that would greenlight ICE funding is Friday.
