Kristi Noem’s departure should be an opportunity to restore accountability, transparency, and respect for the rule of law at the Department of Homeland Security. Senate Democrats should be judicious in considering the next nominee and insist on a leader committed to responsible oversight and far less ICE presence in our communities.
