Homeland Security Secretary Noem defends Trump’s hard-line immigration policies under scrutiny

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has defended the Trump administration's immigration policies during a contentious House committee hearing. Noem faced tough questioning Thursday from Democrats, some of whom called for her to resign. Protesters interrupted Noem's testimony, demanding an end to the Republican administration's deportations. Noem says her department's actions are restoring order to the immigration system. The hearing focused on “Worldwide Threats to the Homeland.” Noem's department is under particular scrutiny because it recently received $165 billion to support its mass deportation efforts and border security.
