Democratic Senators Regret Noem DHS Confirmation Vote
Seven Senate Democrats initially voted to confirm Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Secretary, but many now express regret. Their change of heart stems from Noem’s actions, described as “weaponizing” the department through aggressive deportation policies targeting green card holders and students. Several senators cited disappointment with Noem’s performance and lack of transparency, while others emphasized the need to maintain a working relationship despite policy disagreements. The shift in opinion highlights the growing concern among Democrats over the administration’s immigration enforcement agenda.
