President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to be the next Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary, Kristi Noem, got into a tense exchange with Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal (D) during her Senate confirmation hearing on Friday.
The episode took place when Blumenthal, the last Senator to interrogate Noem during the almost two-and-a-half-hour session, asked the South Dakota Governor if she would commit to helping children who were victims of the so-called "Family Separation Policy" in the last administration reunite with their families.
