Kristi Noem grilled about disabled GA man in ICE custody before ousting
USA TODAY
Georgia Rep. Lucy McBath questioned former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem about an ICE detainee who can't use his legs living in poor conditions.
Kristi Noem is out as Secretary of Homeland Security after congressional hearings ranged from confrontational to heated as funding for the department remains in gridlock.
Noem was questioned about Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations and the death of U.S. citizens, Stephen Miller's influence on the department and more as tempers flared in the congressional chambers.
The former secretary was fired on March 5, and quickly replaced by Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin.
But during Noem's last days in power, she was questioned by Georgia representative Lucy McBath about 47-year-old Rodney Taylor, a man McBath said is disabled and being neglected in an ICE detention center in the state.
"Secretary Noem, you claim you are going after the worst of the worst. If you're doing that, I would really be cheering you on, but this simply isn't the case. That's false," McBath said in the hearing.
