However, it is not accurate to say 450,000 children were \u201clost.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The number refers to all unaccompanied children who came into the U.S. between 2019 and 2023, including during the first Trump and Biden administrations, and ICE did not start court cases for roughly 300,000 of them.<\/p>\n<p>DeLauro tried to continue on Thursday, but the pair were speaking over each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCould you put him in his place?\u201d DeLauro finally said, turning to subcommittee Chairman Mark Amodei. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou should be put in your place,\u201d Mullin shot back. <\/p>\n<p>Mullin was the latest in a series of Trump officials to opt for a combative approach on Capitol Hill and hurl insults in the face of Democrats\u2019 criticism. But his approach did not sit well with the top Republican, who turned back to the DHS secretary with a warning, as he also pointed a finger at Mullin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Secretary, if you would like four minutes for a closing statement when everybody\u2019s done, I\u2019ll give you that, but while members are on their eight minutes, I need them to have their eight minutes,\u201d Amodei said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2229\">Knicks Star Humiliates Trump Over White House Invite<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mullin said he appreciated that, but nonetheless went on to complain that \u201cthey say this for soundbites,\u201d prompting DeLauro to cut in and ask, \u201cWhat did you just recently do for soundbites?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She began to respond to Mullin\u2019s earlier criticism, but Amodei interjected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to have something resembling order here,\u201d he said, banging his gavel. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time is the ranking member\u2019s. If you would like to respond later on, there are methods to do that, but it\u2019s not a who can talk louder into the mic,\u201d he said, turning back to Mullin. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will not let her sit there and lie and accuse something this ridiculous,\u201d Mullin complained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the legislative branch, and it\u2019s my hearing, and so I\u2019m going to try to some extent to control it moderately, thank you,\u201d Amodei lectured him sharply. <\/p>\n<p>DeLauro turned to Mullin and told him not to accuse her of lying, arguing that she said before there\u2019s concern for children across the board.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe care deeply about what\u2019s happening to children,\u201d she insisted. \u201cAnd I went to the border, and I watched children in those fenced-in places years ago, and what was happening to them. So I have a long history, Mr. Secretary, in this area,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>She went on to discuss the Trump budget cuts, blast ICE officers harassing Americans, and lament TSA agents not being paid during the shutdown as the Trump administration remained in a standoff with Democrats over ICE funding, even as Democrats separately pushed for legislation to keep paying TSA agents.<\/p>\n<p>DeLauro went on to ask Mullin about the administration\u2019s push to roll back TSA labor protections, but he seized on her shutdown comments instead, claiming, \u201cWe didn\u2019t shut them down, you shut them down.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnswer my question,\u201d DeLauro yelled. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did,\u201d Mullin said. \u201cMa\u2019am, I answered your question. You\u2019re the ones who shut them down. It was a Democrats\u2019 shutdown.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>DeLauro turned back to the chairman, clearly fed up as she vented, \u201cThese people come to us to get funding.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>But Mullin spoke over her again as he insisted he was \u201cfactually correct.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Mullin claimed he was answering the question. DeLauro pointed out that he had not, and Amodei was exasperated over the pair speaking over each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought you said you answered it,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cThe floor is hers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mullin tried to cut in again, but the Republican chair shut him down.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cActually, I gave it to her,\u201d he said, gesturing to DeLauro. \u201cYou know there is a chairman of a committee. That\u2019s me. I gave it back to her. She\u2019s got it,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2227\">GOP Guru Tears Into Trump\u2019s Surrender With Ultimate Insult<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin\u2019s appearance on Capitol Hill devolved into a yelling match, prompting the Republican chairman to angrily admonish the top Trump official.
