A tense hearing over border detention practices erupted into a shouting match between former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., as Homan grew frustrated in his attempts to defend his former agency.
Jayapal, the vice chairwoman of the House Judiciary Immigration and Citizenship Subcommittee, repeatedly cut off Homan for exceeding his allotted time. It started when the former ICE director responded to a previous statement Jayapal made about the Trump administration's use of funding for additional detention beds.
"I'd like to remind you, under the Obama administration we did that most of the years he was president," Homan said. "I don't remember any hearings on that." He also pointed out that under Obama, when there had been a surge at the border, "Congress was quick to give us all the money we needed."
Jayapal responded, saying, "I didn't like it under the Obama administration either."

Politians forgot they work for the tax payer. When they got elected they felt privilege and they could become millionaires while screwing the tax payer. That is why they indoctrinate and lie to the underprivilege and weak minded.
