'Noem's claim is false': Expert fact-checks DHS head using her own agency's data

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was hammered by an immigration expert on Sunday after falsely distorting DHS' own data on the criminal charges of detainees.

Noem on Sunday morning appeared on CBS Face The Nation, where she was asked, "What percentage of those you have in custody have committed a criminal offense?" She quickly replied, "70% of them have committed or have charges against them on violent crimes."

The host went on to say, point blank, "It's not 70%."

"Yes it is," Noem replied.
