Kristi Noem is about to be sworn in under oath. Finally.

Sen. DURBIN: Madam Secretary, your DHS has operated without any moral compass or respect for rule of law. DHS agents have acted with unspeakable cruelty against children, immigrants, and American citizens.

Sen. DURBIN: Your agents shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Two American citizens. While their families struggle with these horrible tragedies, they have had to fight baseless accusations from you, after you falsely claimed they were domestic terrorists.
