Secretary Noem made time to go to Chicago for a glossy promo video.
But she refuses to meet with me and Senator Duckworth or respond to oversight requests.
We need to hear from her under oath.

Sen. DURBIN: We need to hear from Secretary Kristi Noem. Democrats asked months ago when she’d appear. The Committee needs to schedule this oversight hearing ASAP.
My constituent told me that her health insurance premiums will jump from $278 a month to $1,800—a 550% increase.
That’s because Republicans refuse to extend the ACA enhanced tax credit.
This is not the first time Republicans shut down the government to deny Americans health care.
They did this already in 2013.
But Republicans failed then, and they will fail again.
@shaheen.senate.gov & I met with Nobel Peace Prize recipient, María Corina Machado.
She has fought for a peaceful democratic transition away from Maduro’s dictatorship. Her courage in the face of a stolen election & the Maduro regime’s cruelty is incredible & worthy of the Nobel.
Because of the enhanced premium tax credits, enrollment in the ACA doubled. Millions of people were able to have the peace of mind that affordable quality health care provides. That’s what Democrats are fighting to protect.
Everyone should have a fair say in who represents them in Congress.
The Voting Rights Act has helped provide stability for decades.
The Supreme Court must uphold it.

The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in a HUGE voting rights case today.
Louisiana v. Callais will determine whether the heart of the Voting Rights Act lasts beyond the midterms.
Uphold the VRA.
If Congress does not act, seniors across the country will be paying thousands of additional dollars in their monthly health insurance premiums.
It’s time to reach a bipartisan solution that will fix the health care cost crisis.
78% of Americans say they want Congress to renew the ACA tax credits. But Congressional Republicans would rather shut down the government than listen to their own constituents.
The House has not been in session since September 19th.
It is unconscionable that House Republicans continue to take an extended vacation as Americans face the costs of the Trump shutdown and Republican health care cuts.
The danger isn't in the streets in the city of Chicago.
The danger is what’s happening when troops are being sent in to stand on street corners with rifles.
What the Trump Administration is doing to Chicago is completely unnecessary.
They just want to use Illinois as a political pawn—even when it hurts the people here.
I’m all around Chicago telling folks: Keep your courage up. We’re fighting back.
I joined Chicago’s congressional delegation to send a letter to the Secretary of Transportation & demand answers about the hold on $2.1 billion in federal funding for Chicago’s infrastructure.
This hold threatens the livelihood of hardworking Americans who rely on public transit.
Even when elected officials are on the scene, ICE acts inappropriately.
We can only imagine how they act behind closed doors.
That’s why we’re at Broadview ICE facility. Accountability—now.
We just heard from a Chicagoan who called it like it is.
ICE is profiling and arresting Americans, just because of how they look and the language they speak.
It’s totally inappropriate.
We were just denied entrance to the Broadview ICE facility in Illinois.
WHAT is the Trump Administration hiding?
We’re outside of the Broadview ICE facility.
It’s clearer than ever before.
What’s happening in Illinois is an unprecedented, unlawful abuse of power.
Speaker Johnson thinks being AWOL is the right thing for his Republican members.
But it is not right thing for the millions of Americans who will see their health insurance premiums increase next year.
