Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to testify in front of House Judiciary Committee in March

The House Judiciary Committee said Monday night that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will testify in front of its panel next month as part of its traditional oversight of presidential Cabinet members under its jurisdiction. 

The committee said the hearing will take place on March 4, one day after she's set to appear in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan told Fox News that one of the main topics of the hearing will be sanctuary cities and states and their policies that block local law enforcement from notifying federal authorities about the legal status of someone they arrested.

"You've got a guy in your jail who's done some bad thing — that's why he's in your jail. — and, oh, also happens to be here illegally, and you're not going to work with ICE. … I think the vast majority of the country thinks that's just stupid," Jordan said. "So I think that's a point we have to stress."

The chairman added that Noem's testimony is not in response to House Democrats' call for her to testify about recent shootings in Minneapolis, which killed two protesters who were demonstrating against federal law enforcement.
