Nielsen’s nomination was approved by a vote of 62 to 37: “The Trump administration’s immigration policies have strayed significantly from our values as a nation,” said Senator Shaheen. “During her confirmation process, Ms. Nielsen did not provide sufficient assurances that she would lead towards a more sensible approach. The Department of Homeland Security should be using its resources to target criminals, not individuals who are productive members of our society.” Print Email Tweet Previous Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
