During a contentious congressional hearing, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was confronted by House Democrats over her handling of immigration policies, particularly regarding veteran deportations. Democrats grilled Noem, demanding her resignation as they highlighted the case of a Purple Heart Army veteran who self-deported due to immigration enforcement. Protesters interrupted the hearing, adding to the heated atmosphere, while Noem maintained that the Trump administration had not deported any veterans, a claim challenged when a deported veteran appeared via Zoom. The exchanges revealed a deep divide over immigration policies, with calls for Noem to resign escalating amid accusations of misleading Congress.
