Some of the seven Democrats who voted for Noem say they'd now oppose her in the wake of Trump's aggressive deportation plans and last week's incident involving Sen. Alex Padilla.

Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who voted against Noem, tore into her performance.

“It’s really hard to imagine someone doing a worse job as the secretary of homeland security,” Schiff said in an interview. “The draconian, inconsistent, inflammatory immigration policies; the lawlessness; the rendering of people outside the country to maximum-security prisons; the arrest of U.S. citizens; the constant, bizarre spectacle of her doing dress-up outside of a maximum-security prison; or in her various cosplay. It’s embarrassing, and it takes the focus off of what should be the heart of that job, and that is protecting our homeland security.”
