By Chris WoodwardU.S. Sen. Mark Kelly has announced he will vote “no” for the Department of Homeland Security budget this week following the fatal shootings in Minneapolis.
“Over the weekend, Americans watched what happened to Alex Pretti in Minneapolis,” Kelly told senators.
President Donald Trump has said the ICE officer who shot Good acted in self-defense after Good hit him with her car.
Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the Border Patrol agent, saying he acted in self-defense when he shot Pretti.
“That’s why I will not vote for the Department of Homeland Security budget this week because that agency needs an overhaul from the top down and the bottom up,” said Kelly.
