House Raskin presses Noem on whether she’d still label Pretti, Good as domestic terrorists by Rebecca Beitsch - 03/04/26 11:49 AM ET by Rebecca Beitsch - 03/04/26 11:49 AM ET Share ✕ LinkedIn LinkedIn Email Email NOW PLAYING Rep. Jamie Raskin (Md.), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, asked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem whether knowing what she knows today, she would still label Renee Good and Alex Pretti as domestic terrorists. The ranking member framed his question as “a chance before the entire country to correct your false and defamatory claim.”  Noem repeated her sympathies to their families and said “their lives will never be the same,” but did not retract the claims, saying she was trying to “offer as much information as we can from officers and agents on the ground in a chaotic scene.” “There’s ongoing investigations that are being led,” Noem said, before being cut off by Raskin. “You didn’t wait for the evidence. You proclaimed that they were domestic terrorists at the time. Why did you do that?” he asked. Noem continued to reference the FBI-led investigation into the deaths, which has barred coordination with local authorities. “So you still don’t know? You think that’s an open question?” Raskin said. “You stated the conclusion two hours after they were killed that they were domestic terrorists.” Noem accused Raskin of also criticizing the officers involved before he had all the information. Raskin’s line of questioning took a different track than those in the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday, who had encouraged her to  apologize for the remarks .
