Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is testifying before the House Appropriations Committee during a DHS Oversight hearing.

Per the Hill:

The hearing comes after months of turmoil between federal immigration enforcement officers and states over how DHS carries out President Trump’s robust deportation agenda. A federal judge on Tuesday also blocked the administration from making arrests at immigration courthouses, the first to bar the practice nationwide.

Mullin has also weighed in on the lapse of spy powers authorized by Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), claiming homeland security threats are at the “highest” level ever.

The hearing began at 10 am ET.
