Anti-ICE Hecklers Disrupt Kristi Noem’s Congressional Testimony

Anti-ICE activists disrupted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as she testified on Capitol Hill Thursday.

Noem was giving her opening statement to the House Homeland Security Committee during a hearing entitled “Worldwide Threats to the Homeland.” But before she could finish her opening remarks, Noem was interrupted by two anti-ICE hecklers.

The first activist, who was donning Catholic cardinal attire, got up and began shouting over Noem.

“Stop ICE raids! The Power of Christ compels you!” he yelled as he held up a sign and brandished a cross.

Capitol Police swiftly removed the man from the hearing room and were instructed to arrest him. Just as officers were escorting him out, a second man got up and began repeatedly shouting: “Get ICE off our streets, stop terrorizing our communities!”

Noem remained unfazed and continued her testimony once both hecklers were removed from the hearing room.

As the Trump administration has carried out its mass deportation campaign, there has been an 8,000% increase in death threats and a more than 1,100% surge in assaults, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Some of those threats have tragically materialized.

In September, a shooter opened fire on a Texas ICE facility, killing two detainees and himself as he tried to target federal officers.

In a nearby facility, a group of alleged Antifa anarchists lured federal agents outside using fireworks before firing off bullets on July 4, resulting in one local officer being injured.

Activists are regularly following federal immigration agents making arrests across the country, and some have attempted to obstruct them.

In some areas of the country, cartels and gangs have also placed bounties on the heads of federal agents.
