senator lankford: mr. dorsey, let's say it happened 2017, you identify an account that you is presented and said this is a problem area or unauthorized user, whatever it may be, you take that account off. do you maintain that information? so a year later if somebody comes back with a similar profile you can still track and say this is the same of what we've seen before and it's going to take additional steps for you to get back onboard or ways to be able to track their initial connections? mr. dorsey: sorry. yes, we do maintain that information. we have a policy. if someone is trying to evade a ban or suspension, no matter what the time frame, we can take action on those accounts as well. senator lankford: ok. ms. sandberg? ms. sandberg: if we have any sprigs this would be engaged -- suspicion this would be engaged in foreign or domestic -- we have law enforcement interaction on it, we would keep that information. senator lankford: ok. mr. dorsey, you and i have spoken on this as well about data and the bu

lankford: mr. dorsey, we spoke about data and in the business model for both of you is a free platform for everyone to use by data and advertising are very helpful in keeping your business open and employees paid. that is a given and everyone understands that. for data in particular, how do you make sure anyone who purchases the data or gets access to it uses it for its stated purpose rather than using it to either sell to a third-party or open up a shell company and say they are using it for one purpose that use it for a foreign purpose to track real-time activity of americans? how do you make sure companies purchasing into that opportunity to have the data are fulfilling and using it as they stated they would? jack: there are a few things. we are a little bit different in that all of our data is pulled by default and when we sell data, we sell speed and comprehensiveness. you are purchasing either insights or a real time streaming product. to purchase that, you have to go through a strict custome

thank you for your and senator lankford's bill. i think it's 3137. i have read a bit of it. i believe it was since the 1980s we have discontinued that. it is an authority that we can take as omnibus or separate parts. i think there is room for big things to happen all at once, but a lot of things have to happen separately, too. it gives the administration potentially some flexibility in working with speed with congress in making some decisions that we would like to both move forward on. in any change effort, you need to judge whether the easy things and high value, what are the hard things and hard value and hard things that have very little value. that is what we are doing across our reorganization plans. administrator murphy and i are trying to prioritize the things that are essential to move over to gsa as we do it administratively that are important to us. we are looking at contracting vehicles that are, in my opinion, no brainers. opm doesn't have -- it has an acquisition organization, but gsa has a significant organization. >> so, again, you would need the authority fr

i would like to start by thanking senator lankford's office. senator lankford has been an important republican voice for the support of refugee resettlement and has highlighted the role of admissions programs play in national security. we appreciate his leadership and hope to continue working with that office. i would like to thank the event's cosponsors including the national immigration reform, human rights first, it international refugees -- they're inspiring work on behalf of refugees is essential to the people they serve and is critical to keeping refugee resettlement program afloat during these difficult times. i would like to thank the experts on today's panel. the topic of our conversation today. i would like to thank all of you .for being here personalhis is a issue. more than a decade ago i served in the as a sergeant u.s. army national guard and having served overseas, working as -- having witnessed the damage and displacement caused , ensuring that we would provide safe haven for refugees became an issue of importance to me. one of

lankford: i have requests for meetings during today's session of the senate. they have the approval of the majority and minority leaders. i ask unanimous consent the senate stand in recess until 4:00 this afternoon. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. president, today i filed a lawsuit related to a violation of the separation of powers. our constitution lays out a very clear framework in which the president of the united states nominates and the senate proceeds to review the record of an individual in order to determine if that individual is of fit character to serve. this strategy came as our founders struggled with how to enable staff to fill key positions in the executive branch and key positions in the judiciary. and it's something that hamilton wrote about extensively in his "federalist papers." number 76 was written in 1788 as a letter to the people of the state of new york. and in it he addressed this separation of powers at length. he said that the founders had considered giving the assembly, that is a large group, the ability to choose those

with that, it's senatorlandford. >> -- lankford. thank you all for your work. you are carrying out the law and what you've been asked to do, and there are a lot of families across the country that are incredibly grateful for the work that you do. i want to get a couple definitions here. the number has come up, over9 0,000 family are apprehensions. is that 90,000 individuals total or is that 90,000 families, not -- families but we don't know what the number is within that family? let's do a clarification there. >> thank you, senator. actually, for thisfirst car year cb -- fiscal year cbp apprehensions at the ports of entry and between the ports of entry through august is now over 130,000 family units, and that is actual individuals, individuals that -- >> 130,000 individuals that came as a family unit coming through. >> yes, senator. >> do we know how many actual families that is? so does that represent 75,000 families or groups of individuals, or do you just have a number that's broken up into 130,000? >> it's more typically broken out in the manner which i jus

maybe you can find in terms of what you just told senator lankford.nator hassan. >> thank you, mr. chair, and thank you and ranking member mccaskill for holding this hearing. thank you to the witnesses for being here today and to the members of law enforcement represented here today. i want thank you for your work. i had the opportunity to visit some of the ports of entry that cbp runs last spring to look at your efforts around drug interdiction and we are grateful for the hard work and risks that your officers take. i wanted to get down to what i think senator peters began to get to which is what this hearing really is all about. what this hearing comes down to for me is whether the federal government should be keeping children in detention indefinitely while waiting for a judge to review their case. we are talking about the indefinite detention of children. that's frankly not who we are as a country and it's not what the united states should become. senator peters referenced the american academy of pediatrics. it strongly opposes long-term detention

i'm very happy that senator lankford has been involved in this. this has not been a partisan issue. this is not conservative. this is about being american and standing up for our ideals and being in the country that we have always been and helping build the greatest nation in the world. and refugees are part of that building. we had 15 minutes for questions and answers. i encourage you to come up with a brief question i know that we have only skimmed the surface of a very complicated set of topics. we look forward to your questions. my question is more towards miss chavez. anybody else can feel free to answer. i'm curious because you mentioned a lot about assimilation. how it plays into the rhetoric of we don't want refugees to be settled at the heart of some of the opposition. they are using the fear of terrorism and that we can have to let in the next 911 actors into the united states. given how thoroughly vetted people are. the real fear among people is the question of assimilation. what is driving the immigration debate as well. as somebody that has written about immigration is

the lankford kamala harris bill is another one that has essentially stalled in congress. still not passed. >> 45 seconds i'm told. tough question to answer quickly. we're going to be anchoring midterm election coverage in less than six weeks from this very studio. how worried are you about the integrity of the raw vote that we will be broadcasting that night? >> i'm not overly concerned. i'm only worried about a few states that don't have the paper ballot back-ups, don't have a verifiable audit trail. that's what i'm most concerned about because i don't think they'll actually be hacked. i don't think any votes will be changed. but it provides an opening for someone to change the narrative that maybe you can't trust your vote. >> all right. very important answer. thank you. we'll stay in touch as they say. clint watts returning to our broadcast tonight. and coming up, the way president trump heard it, world diplomats weren't laughing at him yesterday at the u.n., they were laughing with him, as we will hear him explain after this. cancer ... it's very personal. each of us

believe i i read this morning there will , be an even newer version of this we introduced by senator lankford, who is republican from oklahoma. this bill has i think the support of at least 14 senators, seven democrats and some republicans. could you talk a little bit about what the bill is, at least in its previous forms and what -- whether you think it would be helpful or not? >> sure. i think again, there is at least there was reporting that towards the end of this week maybe early next week there will be a new version introduced, but it unfortunately hasn't gotten action yet. it was scheduled for a committee vote and that kind of got pulled. the bill does a couple things. the first is that it really formalizes legislation documentation process that i was talking about between the states and the federal government. it makes it a federal requirement under federal law that information sharing and kind of communication flow is happening going forward. so regardless of the administration, parker this of who is in charge, that continues on. a couple of other key things is it requires things lik

lankford:. . >> thank you for all of your work. we appreciate the. -- that. i want to get a couple of definitions here. over 90,000een family apprehensions. is that 90,000 individuals total, 90,000 families? we all know what the number is within the family. clarification. >> thank you, senator. for this fiscal year, cbp apprehensions and d ports of entry through august are now over 130,000 and that is actual individuals, individuals who make out -- >> individuals who came as a family unit. do we know how many actual families that is? 75 thousand families, groups of individuals, or do you just have a number? >> it is more typically broken out in the manner of which i just mentioned. how do you determine family relationships? mentioned, there are adults coming across the border and carrying a child so they can say they are a family unit. have you determine who is and is not a family unit. >> we are using every resource at our disposal. not only are biographic and biometric databases, our interviews with the families themselves, they are not carrying documents,

. >> senator lankford? >> thank you, mr. chairman.o follow up on a statement senator king was mentioning about deep fakes. that's something i have spoken to both of you about before in the past. it is a challenge for us and i would just reiterate some of the things he was saying publicly. when it's the possibility and now the opportunity to be able to create video that looks strikingly real but none of it is actually real, all of it is computer generated, that's a very different day for video sharing in the days ahead. i know as you all have attacked issues like child pornography and other things on your platforms in the past, you will all aggressively go after these things. we are telling you we're counting on it because americans typically can trust what they see and suddenly in video, they can to longer trust what they see because the opportunity to be able to create video that's entirely different than anything in reality has now actually come. so i appreciate your engagement on that. i want to talk to you a little, mr. dorsey, ab

i will note he took over mid-stream from senator lankford who began this process. and i will also note that we didn't get moving so quickly to a conference committee until senator daines took over. i give him great are credit for adding so much and be a great partner in all of this. i don't really need to go through all of the important initiatives that senator daines already did, maybe i will spend a minute doing so. but i will note that we made progress on some issues that have been stalled in the legislative appropriations committee for a long time, such as intern pay or the requirement to file campaign finance reports online. i think because we were able to do this budget on its own with a real process, with a real committee debate, and with a real conference committee. when these budgets get tied up into giant omnibus negotiations, it tends to be that only the top four or five issues in the omnibus get the attention from the folks in the room, and that these budgets are really important, but maybe a little bit smaller than the budget for h.h.s. or the budget f
