House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) promised that Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem can expect to be one of the first officials made to answer for the Trump administrations treatment of migrants during a recent podcast appearance. Jeffries told The Bulwarks Tim Miller on Monday that judgment day will come after the 2026 elections.
Its my expectation that Kristi Noem will be one of the first people hauled up to Congress shortly after the gavels change hands to get a real understanding for the American people as to this conduct that has taken place. The lack of respect for due process, for the rule of law. The unleashing of masked agents on law-abiding immigrant communities, and the disappearing of people in some instances, to other countries without any real evidence that criminal behavior took place, he said.
Jeffries said hes all for deporting violent criminals and felons, but not law-abiding immigrant families, including in some instances, U.S. citizen children whove been sent overseas to a place that theyve never known.
Jeffries added that all of this is going to require aggressive oversight activity.

(65,256 posts)Did Jeffries have a plan or concept of a plan of how specifically this would happen? He's talking the 2026 elections from the article. Literally next year.

(159,911 posts)(and this even happened in 2022 under Biden), the opposing party tends to pick up seats during those mid-term elections.
The degree of change does fluctuate.
The 2022 "*" election was the expectation of a tidal wave of red as a rout, but that didn't happen. However there were still GOP pickups from the "red trickle" that did happen (that was thankfully offset by (D) holds after the repeal of Roe).
As with any election, it's gonna come down to the "ground game".
