Mullin responded by stating that 450,000 children were lost under the Biden administration, prompting DeLauro to demand he not interrupt her questioning. The committee chairman, Mark Amodei (R-Nev.), attempted to maintain order amid the escalating confrontation. The hearing coincided with a Supreme Court ruling that allowed the Trump administration to resume turning back asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border and to end Temporary Protected Status for certain groups.
