Noem testified before Congress about her goals to help President-elect Donald Trump increase border security measures and limit immigration.

During the hearing, she vowed to revoke several Biden-era programs, such as the CPB-1 app that allows migrants to apply for asylum. and to revoke a parole program for certain Haitians, Cubans, Venezuelans, and Nicaraguans. Unlike other nominees, Noem has not faced much criticism from Democrats. She's expected to receive enough votes to take up the post. Ximena Bustillo, NPR News, Washington.
