GOP lawmaker renews oversight hearing request of DHS agencies following fatal shooting in Minneapolis

A Republican lawmaker is calling for an oversight hearing of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies, renewing a request from earlier this month as attention turns to a fatal shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis.

Rep. Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, said Saturday he is seeking testimony from senior DHS officials following the death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti.

Garbarino said the request builds on an invitation issued by committee staff on Jan.
