Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is expected to face fierce questioning from House Democrats on Dec. 11 over the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

Noem is testifying before the House Homeland Security Committee on “Worldwide Threats to the Homeland,” which is likely to focus heavily on immigration. Also attending Thursday’s hearing are Joseph Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, and Michael Glasheen, operations director of the national security branch of the FBI.

The Senate is poised for a Dec. 11 vote on competing measures to resolve the standoff over extending the expiring Obamacare subsidies. Both are likely to fall along party lines and to fail to reach the 60-vote threshold required to advance legislation in the Senate. The subsidies were created in 2021 as a temporary measure to blunt the economic impact of the COVID-19 national health emergency. Originally offered for two years, the enhanced subsidies were further extended for three years and will expire at the end of this month.
