Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was confronted by a protester at the beginning of her hearing Thursday morning in Washington, D.C.

Noem was beginning to speak to a panel of lawmakers about potential security threats when a protester, who appeared to be wearing a liturgical outfit, stood up with a sign and wooden cross and started yelling "stop the raids, the power of Christ compels you. End deportations!"

He was escorted out of the room by Capitol police.
