NEW: The Senate Homeland Security Committee will hold a 9am hearing re: immigration & law enforcement operations in Minnesota. Panel 1 will include Minnesota AG Keith Ellison & @GOPMajorityWhip. Panel 2 will have ICE Director Todd Lyons & CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott. I'm inside & will post updates to this thread.

@GOPMajorityWhip .@GOPMajorityWhip opening statement: "I look forward to AG Keith Ellison explaining how he's tying the hands of law enforcement to protect criminals...Ellison has a history of cutting deals with Somali fraudsters...Why are MN Democrats so keen on protecting criminal aliens?

Minnesota AG @keithellison: "I hate fraud, and my office and I are already fighting it. We've convicted 300 fraudsters in the last seven years. The government did not surge, however, forensic accountants to Minnesota. They didn't surge computer experts. Instead, they sent 3,000 masked, armed men."
