Noem Faces Senate Hearing on DHS Shutdown
Kristi Noem is the US Homeland Security Secretary. She will face a Senate hearing soon.
The US Department of Homeland Security has been shut down for three weeks. The hearing will address how the shutdown affects counterterrorism work.
Lawmakers are demanding that Noem resign, be fired, or be impeached. Some lawmakers want her removed over the immigration enforcement.
Klear Note — DHS runs border security, immigration, and counterterrorism. A three-week shutdown means these critical operations have limited staff and funding.
