I watched the unedited C-SPAN version and the video in your link.
Unedited version: https://www.c-span.org/video/?449086-1/g...te-hearing (relevant section starts about the 2.5 hour mark)
Hirono said "I'm confused" and then it's clear that she doesn't understand the difference between the criminal and civil proceedings that take place under immigration laws that legislators like her put into place. In the edited version, not surprisingly, Fox added their normal conservative editorial comments.
Maybe I'm missing something, but she does sound confused in both the edited and unedited videos. She is trying to take a bureaucrat to task for enforcing the laws she and/or her fellow legislators passed, and he clearly understands the laws better than she does. The news organization didn't do that to her, she did.
