Representative Seth Magaziner challenges DHS Secretary Kristi Noem over immigration enforcement actions affecting U.S. military veterans, their families, and long-term legal residents. Magaziner questions Noem’s claim that no veterans have been deported, presenting specific cases of a Purple Heart combat veteran deported despite years of sobriety and lawful conduct, a Navy veteran whose legal-resident wife was detained for minor decades-old offenses, and the father of three U.S. Marines arrested during an ICE operation.
Magaziner argues that these cases contradict the administration’s pledge to target only the “worst of the worst” and demonstrate a failure to use humanitarian discretion available to the DHS Secretary. Noem defends DHS actions as enforcement of existing law and maintains that discretion cannot override statutory requirements, while agreeing to review some individual cases. The exchange highlights growing concerns over the human cost of rigid immigration enforcement, the treatment of veterans and military families, and the role of congressional oversight in ensuring fairness, proportionality, and accountability.
