How the head of ICE responded to questions in Congress over Trump’s immigration policies
February 10, 2026
The heads of three Trump administration agencies have appeared before Congress to discuss immigration policies. The hearing follows the shooting deaths of two Americans in Minneapolis, which sparked outrage over the president’s agenda. Todd Lyons of Immigration and Customs Enforcement faced sharp questioning about officers wearing masks during arrests. Democrats criticized the practice, while Lyons defended it for officer safety. The hearing Tuesday also addressed the looming shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, with Democrats threatening to block funding unless changes are made.
