A Senate oversight hearing of the Department of Homeland Security became heated as Democrats pushed Secretary Kristi Noem to explain why the Trump administration had not followed through with a Supreme Court order to bring illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the Trump administration's deportations Thursday as Democratic senators accused the president of illegally sending U.S. citizens to other countries.

Senate Democrats sparred with Kristi Noem over whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be returned to the U.S., as well as the Department of Homeland Security's spending.
