Turn over full investigation findings to Congress when agents use deadly force.
A specific, checkable commitment rather than a policy aspiration. At a February 2026 House Homeland Security oversight hearing, Chairman Garbarino asked Scott and acting ICE Director Lyons to commit to providing complete investigation reports once probes into the shooting deaths of two protesters concluded; both agreed. Real movement since: CBP’s Office of Professional Responsibility sent Congress a preliminary review of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti — including which officers fired and a body-camera-based timeline — within days, confirmed by Fox News’s own reporting. At a later Senate hearing chaired by Rand Paul, Scott went further under direct questioning and committed specifically to releasing the body-camera footage itself once the FBI’s parallel investigation concludes. Marked in progress rather than completed: a preliminary report has moved, but the footage itself has not yet been released.
