Father of girl injured by illegal migrant truck driver slams ‘insensitive’ rhetoric during Noem hearing
Who's accountable for the results?
The father of a California girl who sustained a traumatic brain injury when an illegal immigrant commercial truck driver slammed into a vehicle she was riding in urged congressional lawmakers to prioritize the safety of American citizens amid the back-and-forth rhetoric over the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign.
Marcus Coleman was in attendance during this week's House Judiciary Committee hearing in which then-Homeland Security Kristi Noem answered questions about the agency's immigration enforcement actions.
"At this point right now, what they're doing is extremely disrespectful. It's insensitive," Coleman told Fox News Digital, referring to elected officials who oppose illegal immigrant enforcement. "Until it happens to them, that's the point of view they're going to have."
On Wednesday, Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., a vocal critic of the Trump administration, apologized to the families in attendance who have lost loved ones to the actions of illegal immigrants, before remarking on migrant crime statistics during his interaction with Noem.

"For the folks that are here and your families, I'm sorry," Cohen said, holding his hand over his heart. "It's terrible what happened to you, to your children or your family members, but they are more likely… citizens are more likely to be attacked by United States citizens who are not undocumented."
Noem, who has since been reassigned as the Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, shot back, calling Cohen's remark offensive to the Angel Families, which refers to relatives of Americans killed by individuals in the United States unlawfully.
"The vast majority of the people sitting behind me have lost their children due to drugs, overdoses from drugs that came over the southern border," she said. "They died from their kids being hit in accidents on the roads where illegal drivers were driving a truck. Marcus Coleman, Delilah's father, has told the story over and over again."
In 2024, Dalilah Coleman was critically injured in Southern California when the driver of an 18-wheel tractor-trailer moving at 60 mph slammed into a vehicle she was traveling in. She sustained a fractured skull, broken femur and a traumatic brain injury.
Partap Singh, an illegal immigrant from India, was identified as the driver who obtained a commercial driver's license in California, authorities said. Singh was driving at an unsafe speed and failed to stop for traffic in a construction zone just before the crash.
