US EditionSenate committee advances Mullin's nomination for DHS secretary after Fetterman breaks with Democrats
Senate Homeland Security Committee advanced Mullin’s nomination 8-7 with Democrat Fetterman’s decisive support amid ongoing DHS funding and immigration enforcement challenges.
- On Thursday the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted 8-7 to advance Sen. Markwayne Mullin's nomination to the full U.S. Senate, with Sen. Rand Paul, committee chair , voting no and Sen. John Fetterman voting yes.
- Trump nominated Mullin earlier this month to replace Kristi Noem, and the committee advanced his nomination after a Democrat broke party lines.
- During Wednesday's hearing, Sen. Rand Paul pressed Sen. Markwayne Mullin about past confrontations, saying, 'I think there are anger issues'; Mullin also signaled policy differences from Noem on warrant requirements.
- The nomination now heads to the full U.S. Senate, where Mullin will need a simple majority to be confirmed; Majority Leader John Thune hopes for a final vote early next week.
- Mullin's confirmation would be historic as he would be the first Native American to lead DHS and advocates urge him to meet tribal leaders and improve ICE training on tribal IDs.
