Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem is set to testify before a House panel on Wednesday morning on the fiscal 2026 budget for the department.

Noem has vowed to significantly limit the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and is becoming a significant force behind President Trump’s sweeping immigration crackdown. On Tuesday, she also advocated for Democrats who attended a protest in New Jersey outside a U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility to be censured. The Trump administration has also threatened possible legal action against the lawmakers and Newark, N.J., Mayor Ras Baraka.

The House Homeland Security Committee hearing comes a day after the first federal judge gave the administration a green light to continue deportation flights to El Salvador under the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act for immigrants with alleged links to gangs.

Trump’s budget proposal, unveiled earlier this month, would provide the DHS with $43.8 billion in additional anticipated reconciliation funds.

The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
