美国参议院一名高级共和党议员要求国土安全部（DHS）几个以移民为重点的部门负责人在参议院公开作证。
肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德·保罗（Rand Paul）呼吁移民和海关执法局（ICE）、边境巡逻队（CBP）以及美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）的负责人在下月来到他所在的小组委员会——参议院国土安全与政府事务委员会面前。
在分别致代理ICE主任托德·莱昂斯（Todd Lyons）、CBP专员罗德尼·斯科特（Rodney Scott）和USCIS主任约瑟夫·埃德洛（Joseph Edlow）的三封信中，保罗指出，国土安全部已收到”大量资金以保护我们的边境并执行移民法”。

“国会有义务监督这些税收资金的使用情况，确保资金用于完成使命、为我们的执法人员提供适当支持，最重要的是保护美国人民，”保罗写道。
“我写信是要求您在2026年2月12日前的公开听证会上在美国参议院国土安全与政府事务委员会作证，”他继续说道。”请在2026年1月28日工作日结束前告知您是否有空出席委员会听证会。”

保罗提出这一要求之际，正值特朗普政府下令国土安全部进入明尼苏达州后，上月发生了第二起涉及边境巡逻人员和美国公民的致命枪击事件。
亚历克斯·普雷蒂（Alex Pretti）和蕾妮·妮可·古德（Renee Nicole Good）均被边境巡逻人员开枪打死，这引发了参议院民主党人和一些共和党人对特朗普政府在该州活动的反对。

但保罗的要求更侧重于此次事件中的资金使用情况。
参议院民主党人正准备阻挠即将到来的国土安全部资金法案，这可能会使政府再次陷入停摆。而保罗想了解已经分配给该机构的数十亿美元资金（可能通过唐纳德·特朗普总统的”一个大而美丽的法案”）是如何使用的。

保罗提出这一要求之际，国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）将在3月初出席参议院司法委员会听证会，此前她已数月未回应参议院司法委员会主席、爱荷华州共和党人查克·格拉斯利（Chuck Grassley）的两项请求。

GOP senator demands DHS immigration chiefs testify after fatal shootings in Minnesota

A top Senate Republican is demanding that the heads of several immigration-focused units at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) testify publicly before the Senate.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., called on the heads of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services (USCIS) to come before his panel, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, next month.
In three separate letters to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott and USCIS Director Joseph Edlow, Paul noted that DHS had received “an exceptional amount of funding to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws.”

“Congress has an obligation to conduct oversight of those tax dollars and ensure the funding is used to accomplish the mission, provide proper support for our law enforcement, and, most importantly, protect the American people,” Paul wrote.
“I write to request your testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs at an open hearing by February 12, 2026,” he continued. “Please provide your availability to appear before the Committee by the close of business on January 28, 2026.”

Paul’s request comes on the heels of the second fatal shooting involving a border patrol agent and U.S. citizen in the last month since the Trump administration ordered DHS to enter Minnesota.
Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good were both fatally shot by border patrol agents, which has prompted pushback from Senate Democrats and some Republicans on the Trump administration’s activity in the state.

But Paul’s request is more focused on the funding element of the situation.
Senate Democrats are gearing up to block the upcoming DHS funding bill, which could thrust the government into another shutdown. And Paul wants to know how the billion already allocated to the agency, likely through President Donald Trump’s “one, big beautiful bill,” are being used.

Paul’s request also comes as DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is set to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee in early March after several months of not responding to a pair of requests from Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
