At the Senate confirmation hearing for President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, faced questions from Democrats on Trump’s plans for mass deportations and whether she would attach political strings to California.
During Friday's hearing, Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., asked whether Noem or Trump’s “border czar,” Tom Homan, would be calling the shots on border policy, with Kim noting that Homan is not subject to Senate confirmation.
