House Rep Andrew R. Garbarino is set to lead a contentious hearing on the Trump administration’s surge in immigration enforcement, which includes the shooting deaths of two people in Minneapolis by federal authorities. The Homeland Security Committee chairman plans to ask questions about the training of immigration agents and their use of force, among other topics. Garbarino faces challenges as a moderate Republican leader who has at times broken with his party on high-profile issues, including same-sex marriage legislation and gun control measures. The hearing is part of ongoing public blowback against the administration’s actions, which have led to skepticism from some Republicans about how Garbarino will handle the high-profile examination of immigration policy.
