Kristi Noem shrugs off oversight as detainee deaths surge: report

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is casting off government oversight as she carries out President Donald Trump's mass deportation orders, according to a report.

At least 11 people have died while in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement since the start of the fiscal year — one short of the 12 deaths reported in all of last year — and Republicans just handed the agency the DHS secretary oversees a historic budget increase. But Noem has shut down three oversight offices and cut staff down to the bone, reported CNN.
