US homeland security chief clashes with Democrats during heated House hearing

Mullin clashed with Rosa DeLauro after she cited 3,900 children separated under Trump’s family separation policy during the budget hearing.

  • During a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing on Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin confronted Rep. Rosa DeLauro, telling the Connecticut Democrat she should be "put in her place" during heated exchanges over immigration policy.
  • The outburst occurred after DeLauro noted 3,900 children were separated under President Donald Trump, prompting Mullin to counter that 450,000 minors were "lost" during the President Joe Biden administration.
  • Mullin called DeLauro a "hypocrite" and claimed she remained silent for four years regarding missing children, while DeLauro refused to yield, insisting, "I have a long history, Mr. Secretary, in this area."
  • House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee Chairman Mark Amodei intervened to restore order, banging his gavel twice and reminding Mullin that members were entitled to their full eight minutes of questioning.
  • The heated exchange reflects intense partisan divisions over immigration data following Mullin's Senate confirmation in March to lead the Department of Homeland Security, his first major appropriations hearing as secretary.
