of this date with threats to the homeland. this committee was created in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of september 11th, 2001. since the establishment of the department of homeland security, the committee has focused on insuring the department is fulfilling its mission to secure the homeland. i take this responsibility seriously, as has every chairman of this committee. this is why it's been the committee's practice to hold a hearing to assess global threats to the homeland and evaluate the federal government's efforts to confront them. congress and the american people deserve to hear about the threats we face directly from the official charge with our nation's security. today i'm deeply concerned about the state of the department of homeland security. it's been 203 days since the department has had a confirmed secretary and the acting secretary recently announced he's leaving after just six months on the job. his replacement will be the fifth person to lead dhs in fewer than three years. even though acting secretary mcaleenan is leaving tomorrow, the president has yet to announce who his replacement will be. what is the delay? overnight, we learned that the white house

wolf should run the entire department of homeland security. he would be the sixth, sixth secretary in charge of this critical agency, department of homeland security, the sixth one since president trump was elected. talk about a fast-moving revolving exit door. you can hardly get your desk put together and a few pens and computers on top of it, then you're out the door with president trump if you're secretary of the department of homeland security. well, next up, chad wolf. the president has indicated he is going to appoint him, not as the secretary of homeland security. no, the acting secretary of homeland security. but he first has to be confirmed as an under secretary. the trump administration has shown in their immigration policy an approach to this issue that we haven't seen for decades in washington or the united states. the president has been especially harsh when it comes to families and children. president trump's ineffective policies have made our southern border much less secure than when he took office. the situation has even been w

consider the nomination of chad wolf to serve in a senior leadership position at the department of homeland security. mr. wolf's experience at the department dates back to the immediate aftermath of of the -- of the september 11 terrorist attacks. he has had a hand in arranging our nation's homeland security security infrastructure. he has been called a proven, thoughtful, and principled executive, end quote, and a former assistant secretary at the department said, quote, chad knows the issues cold. i hope my colleagues will join me in advancing each of these nominations later this week. the presiding officer: under the previous order, the senate will proceed to executive session to resume consideration of the following nomination, which the clerk will report. the clerk: nomination, department of homeland security, chad f. wolf of virginia to be under secretary for strategy, policy, and plans. mr. mcconnell: i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: mr. schumer: mr. president? the presiding officer: the democratic leader. mr. sc

as we all know, the department of homeland security was created to defend the united states from any d all threats to the safety of our nation. the department and its leaders are critical to our national security efforts and we rely on them to effectively coordinate with both the national counterterrorism center and the fbi to provide a unified effort to defend the homeland. when dhs was first created in the aftermath of 9/11, the agency's mission was very clear. combat the scorch of international terrorism and ensure that we can say with confidence, never again. over time, the narrow focus has expanded. as the threats to our homeland have grown and become more dynamic, new terrorist groups devoted to striking america and our allies. adversaries and cyber criminals seek to infiltrate and disrupt the nations cyber networks, posing an asymmetric threat that could cripple or economy with the click of a button. foreign interference in our domestic affairs has presented a complicated new challenge that we are still scrambling to adequately address. terrorism,omestic acts of violence carrie

security will soon have biometric data on nearly 260000000 people us courts is reporting that according to a recent presentation from the agency's office of procurement operations the u.s. department of homeland security expects to have face fingerprint and iris scans of at least 259000000 people in its biometrics database by 2022 right around the corner in fact according to figures quoted by the electronic frontier foundation that's roughly 40000000 more than the agency's 2017 projections. talk about exceeding the desired goal my friends d.h. as you get an a plus for effort in the d. minus for respecting all of our privacy if these numbers hold this would make the size of the biometrics collection is maintained by the d h s the 2nd largest in the world only behind india's biometric id network well joining me now to eliminate the good the bad the ugly of homeland security's wonderful collection of biometric data is a legal media slide out of wyoming always a pleasure sir and happy belated birthday thank you yes what a president. lionel what are some of the potential abuses we could see as a result from the d.h. just holding this much biometric data on over 260000000 people. let me give a coup

>> between the department of homeland security, department of state, which jointly negotiated this programith the government of mexico, assessments were done on mexican's ability to manage this program and jointly with the united states. >> so, you did assess this and you thought it was perfectly fine. do you know there are public reports of kidnappings, assaults and other reports on families and other asylum seekers that are returned to mexico? are you reading these reports? are you hearing about them? >> certainly we carefully monitor reports of violence in the northern border states of mexico -- >> have you heard about people being kidnapped, yes or no? >> yes. >> have you heard about people being assaulted -- >> please let me finish the answer. >> i don't have that much time. i want to know what you are aware of because -- >> sometimes it's not a yes or no. >> my colleagues over here are talking about how we're a compassionate and loving nation, but sending a deaf child back to mexico into a level four area is not compassionate to me. sending pregnant women back to these areas to be ra

[screams] you will hear argument first in 587, the department of homeland security versus legions of the university of california and the related cases. general francisco,. >> in 2017, the fifth circuit held a daca in the expansion of daca was likely unlawful. the judgment affirmed by equally divided courts. in the face of those decisions, the department of homeland security reasonably determined that it no longer wish to retain the daca policy. based on his belief that the policy was illegal with serious doubts about the illegality and the general proposition abroad not efficient policy. that decision did not violate the apa for two reasons. first, it is not subject to judicial review. the rescission ended up nonenforcement policy whereby the department agreed to not enforce against hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens. but the decision whether or not to enforce the law is committed to the agency under fuel discussion unless it restricts it and nothing requires the department to allow enforcement agencies to not enforce the law. to him this was reasonable. daca was a measure that

helpful. >> i think one has to focus on the fact that this was congress authorized the department of homeland security to identify enforcement priorities. once it did, because it was required to do so and had no choice because of the funding, and once it did so and identify the persons, and this is helpful to the agents in the field to identify which individuals are going to be subject to enforcement and which individuals are not, other statutes provided that benefit. you are correct that it triggers that, but it is triggered by other benefits, and so forth, if the government is supposed to those benefits given to individuals who are not in an enforcement priority category to support themselves rather than put themselves in the hands of the government to support them , and become a part, since they are not going to be deported for the short period of time, those are the things that if the government wanted to get rid of, the government should be challenging those. it should not be challenging a is essentially required by congress, and let there be no mistake about why this decision was made. the attor

more specifically in fy 2019, the department of homeland security filed approximately 443,000 new cases with the immigration courts. that's the highest single your number in the eoir's history. on average, four out of every five removal cases will conclude with the alien required to leave the u.s. with ordered removal or departure.luntary that means statistically the majority of cases may not involve a viable claim that allows an alien to lawful relief -- lawfully remain in the u.s. however, the presence of the already crowded dockets diverts resources from already addressing those claims that are meritorious. in casesnt increases involving asylum applications, unaccompanied alien children, credible fear claims, and aliens who fail to appear, have taxed our resources. our immigration system faces numerous charges -- challenges. significantrs downstream of surges of illegal immigration at the border and those effects have placed a marked strain on its resources. to combat these effects, the attorney general has brought important clarity to the law through case adjudications and the depar

last week, i talked with director krebs about what department of homeland security is doing. director ray, what is the fbi wray?-- how is the fbi coordinating with the department of homeland security on these efforts? >> appreciate the feedback on the meeting in new hampshire. i think what we are seeing is a shift to more and more targeted ransomware attacks come up more municipalities and there are a variety of different reasons they are more vulnerable. we're also seeing more enterprise-level which affects every computer in the organization. one of the things we are trying to do is figure out through our enforcementas a law agency and intelligence agency, there have been times where we are able to reverse engineer a decryption key. in the northwest, small business, 600 people, crippling ransomware attack, potentially all those people going to lose their jobs, but work, they did not have to pay a ransom and got systems back online. dhs, wes working with work very closely together. the fbi has the lead on the oneat and dhs is the lead the assets and essentially we work togethe

and senate republicans have proposed providing him with $5 billion in their department of homeland security spending bill. nd house democrats are pretty insistent on the fact that he is not going to get another dime for that wall. and they're very upset about the fact that senate republicans have proposed taking billions away from domestic programs in order to fund that wall. so there exists this this sort of enormous impasse over border wall funding. and i think a lot of top appropriators have been waiting for some kind of signal from the white house on whether or not president trump can kind of come down on that number and accept something less. so it really remains to be scene if leaders can come to a compromise over there and satisfy the president at the same time. >> senate democratic leader chuck schumer has said that he is increasingly worried that the president will want to shut the government down because of impeachment. you did talk about this a little bit. what are other lawmakers talking about this as a possibility? caitlin: right. certainly that is a concern because we saw, you

at least three of our witnesses, your departments fall under homeland security. your website is the department of homeland security has a vital mission to secure the many manytinon from the threats we face and employees and security to cyber response to analysts to security inspectors. our goal is clear, keeping america safe. in addition to agencies represented here today, homeland security includes cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency. the united states citizen and immigration services. the united states coast guard, united states immigration and customs enforcement. it includes fema as well as customs and border protection, secret service and fema. -- and tsa. i believe if these agencies were abolished our country would be substantially less safe. my question, beginning with you mr. wagner, can you tell me what impact it would have on the people of america the security and agencies you serve if these agencies were abolished by congress? >> there would be no one to process people coming and going across the border, either u.s. citizens or visitors, no

the department of homeland security officials argue remain in mexico have allowed u.s. customs and border protection to regain operational control of our border with mexico. we actually know better. the policies raise serious legal questions and created a new humanitarian crisis along the southern border. it runs contrary to our american values. returning migrants with known physical, mental and developmental disabilities in mexico is unacceptable, sending pregnant women into mexico where there is no safe housing and basic medical care for them is unacceptable. establishing secretive courts, dhs uses to prosecute asylum-seekers who wish to return to mexico runs contrary to our values. indeed, immigration court proceedings are generally open to the public for the sake of transparency. american immigration lawyers association, aclu and amnesty international among others regularly observe these proceedings. however these organizations have been repeatedly denied access to the temporary courts in laredo. for those of you familiar with the rio grande valley, you know about th

bush administration at the department of homeland security. she went out of her way to say she worked at the department of homeland security under secretary michael chertoff, who was george w. bush's -- one of his homeland security appointees. she went out of her way to say that her hero is condoleezza rice. she bent over backwards today to make sure that her comments about vice president mike pence were nothing but good or at least neutral or at least ambiguous if need be. this was not a witness who was on an anti-trump administration crusade. i mean, none of them are. but she went out of her way to make clear she definitely isn't. but as a factual matter and a matter of her expertise and her job responsibilities she staffs vice president pence on the issue of ukraine. and so now through her testimony today we know what ukraine's president explained out loud to mike pence, to the vice president of the united states, told him to his face in person about what the effect was of what president trump was doing by jerking ukraine around this way. no

fact that -- and i know because i sit now on the senate homeland security committee and i questioned and voted against every secretary of the department of homeland security that came before them. i said to each one of them, america made a promise to our dreamers. we made a promise that if you fill out these forms and tell us the circumstances of your arrival, are you living a productive life, we will not share this information with ice. that was a promise. literally i have held up a document where it said that when they applied for daca. and now under donald trump, they're prepared to break a promise that is not only a promise that was made but also to break a promise that should be about what is -- who we are as americans in terms of our humanity and in terms of what we know to be morally right versus wrong. it is a human rights abuse being committed by the united states government. i will tell you for that reason, actually on the debate stage, among the senators running for president, i'm the only one who has consistently voted against donald trump's law. and i will tell you why, because when there was a $25 billion bill that would

a new report today from the department of homeland security inspector general says the department anticipated6,000 kids from their family. in court dhs has said they ended up separating about 3,000 kids with about a third of them still separated from their families. now, this report, this i.g. report now calls that accounting into question. the inspector general's office says that because the department lacked the right technology because of, quote, i.t. denishancies the office, could, quote not confirm the total number of families dhs separated. the i.g. says the department of homeland security went ahead with the policy of taking kids from parents even though they knew they did not have the technology they needed to keep track of the families and eventually reunite them. quote, without a reliable account of all family relationships, we could not validate the total number of separations or reunifications. the policy of separating kids was an outrage to the point the administration was forced to backtrack just a month after going public with the plan. the policy was also chaos. on both counts

meanwhile, there seems to be confusion about who's leading the department of homeland security.esterday president trump suggested that chad wolf an official there was the acting secretary. that position is still being held by kevin mcillenan. the white house tried to clear things up saying he was leaving november 11th and wolf would serve as acting secretary. this as president trump insists the situation for migrants along the u.s. border with mexico is improving but in reality the humanitarian crisis is significantly worse. at least in some places. cnn's nick valencia got a firsthand look at conditions in a makeshift tent camp. >> reporter: in this migrant camp in mexico, the suffering is everywhere. angela, the mother of this sick 2-year-old, say that is two months ago they crossed into the united states seeking asylum. after three days in u.s. custody, they were put on a bus and driven into mexico. it's part of the trump administration's migrant protection protocols. the policy requiring migrants to remain in mexico for the asylum cases to be called on. if they cross illegall
