Bennie Thompson, the ranking Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee, told Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday that she has diverted vast resources to carry out President Donald Trump's "extreme" immigration agenda, and failed to provide basic responses to oversight questions from Congress.

"I call on you to resign," the Mississippi congressman said. "Do a real service to the country."
