Mullin Clashes with DeLauro at Hearing

A House hearing erupted into chaos on Thursday when Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Representative Rosa DeLauro became locked in a screaming match over the treatment of migrant children and deaths in ICE custody.

The 83-year-old Connecticut Democrat pressed Mullin repeatedly on the administration's child separation policies, prompting the secretary to raise his voice and point his finger across the dais.

The Republican committee chairman was forced to gavel the proceedings to a halt and call for calm as the confrontation escalated.

The ugly exchange reflects the deepening partisan friction over border enforcement and immigration policy.
