Watch live: DHS officials testify before House on fiscal 2027 budget amid shutdown
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials will testify before the House Appropriations Committee on Thursday morning as the partial government shutdown stretches into its 9th week.
The hearing will focus on the White House’s fiscal 2027 budget request — which includes more funding for Trump’s crackdown on immigration. It also comes as the administration faces heat over tactics its federal agents use while carrying out the president’s mass deportation agenda.
The witness list includes U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting Director Todd Lyons and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edlow.
DHS officials from non-immigration agencies will face questions before the committee later Thursday afternoon.
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
