Senate approves Trump's Homeland nominee with immigration crackdown under scrutiny - Reuters

The Senate has confirmed Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Homeland Security, a position central to the administration's immigration enforcement agenda. The confirmation comes as the nominee's record on immigration policy has drawn scrutiny from lawmakers and advocacy groups concerned about the scope and implementation of planned enforcement actions. Control of DHS gives the Trump administration significant authority over border operations, deportations, and immigration enforcement across the federal government. The agency oversees U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Secret Service, making the leadership appointment consequential for how immigration policy is executed during Trump's second term.
