Trump's immigration chiefs called to testify in Congress following protester deaths

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Todd Lyons, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Rodney Scott, who leads Customs and Border Protection, and Joseph Edlow, who is the director of Citizenship and Immigration Services, were called to appear Tuesday (Feb. 10, 2026) before the House Committee on Homeland Security amid falling public support for immigration enforcement.
55% : ICE has undergone a massive hiring boom, deploying immigration officers across the country.
43% : Their agencies are flush with cash from Trump's big tax-and-spending law, but Democrats are threatening to shut down DHS Friday night if Republicans don't agree on new limits aimed at forcing agents to follow the law and the Constitution following killings in the streets and expanding detentions.
34% : Lyons is likely to face questioning over a memo he signed last year telling ICE officers that they didn't need a judge's warrant to forcibly enter a house to arrest a deportee, a memo that went against years of ICE practice and Fourth Amendment protections against illegal searches.
