Kristi Noem’s Confirmation Hearing for Secretary of Homeland Security
Background
Kristi Noem, the South Dakota governor and US President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of homeland security, appeared before the Senate on Friday for her confirmation hearing. Noem, who would replace outgoing secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, promised to carry out Trump’s vision for cracking down on illegal immigration and deporting millions of migrants.
Key Points
During the hearing, Noem pledged to end the CBP One phone app used to process asylum-seekers, scale back humanitarian parole, and reinstate the Trump-era policy requiring asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for their court hearings.
