The Spin

Republican narrative

Secretary Noem has demonstrated real leadership as head of DHS, as proven by her demanding a travel ban on countries that send dangerous migrants to the United States. Democrats were the ones caught lying during her testimony, as they falsely claimed Noem had a veteran deported. Defiant in the face of unfair criticism, Noem proved why she should stay in her position and why Trump is winning on immigration.

Democratic narrative

Noem flopped in front of Congress. She failed to answer basic questions and lied about leaving early for a FEMA meeting that was canceled. The Trump administration has been unlawfully deporting asylum seekers with active applications, turning homeland security into political retribution rather than public safety. Noem should have to face consequences, including losing her job.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 50% chance that at least 869,000 immigrants to the United States will obtain lawful permanent resident status in 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
