"Greene, who regularly promotes far-right conspiracy theories, had previously expressed interest in leading the department and executing Trump's stated policy of mass deportations of immigrants and their children, many of whom she characterized as "terrorists."

Earlier in 2024, she sponsored a resolution to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the border. The Senate found that he did not reach the standard of committing "high crimes and misdemeanors" and dismissed the charges.

At a House committee hearing last year, Greene called Mayorkas a liar. When Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., defended the DHS secretary, she falsely suggested that the Democratic lawmaker had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy.

Lately, Greene has espoused the theory that Democrats can control extreme weather events like Hurricane Helene."

She's a shoo-in to lead Homeland Security in -------------.
