Noem confronts Democrats over NYC crime, asylum abuses as members hurl accusations
Fox News
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem clashed with Rep. Tim Kennedy over New York City security funding reductions during a House hearing on worldwide threats to the homeland.
Leo Briceno is a politics reporter for the congressional team at Fox News Digital. He was previously a reporter with World Magazine.
"It's unconscionable: $134 million in Urban Area Security Initiative funding for the City of New York. What compelled you to knowingly make our cities less safe with these funding cuts?" Kennedy said, referring to the Trump administration’s reductions to some of the city’s anti-terror transit security programs.
"What compels you, your mayor and your governor, to release thousands of criminals on the streets rather than to turn them over to ICE?" Noem retorted.
