À propos de ce contenu audio
C-SPAN programming from Thursday, February twelfth, 2026 focused on congressional oversight of immigration enforcement and the funding mechanics of the Department of Homeland Security. The day highlighted how hearings and appropriations debates interact as tools of legislative influence.
In a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing, senior DHS officials testified about use-of-force policies following fatal encounters in Minneapolis. Senators questioned training standards, de-escalation practices, and body camera requirements. Officials declined detailed comment on ongoing investigations. The hearing reinforced Congress’s role in examining agency conduct and building a public oversight record.
On the Senate floor, lawmakers resumed consideration of DHS appropriations as a potential funding lapse approached. Debate addressed whether enforcement reforms should be reflected in funding language. The discussion underscored the constitutional link between oversight and the power of the purse, and how appropriations decisions may shape executive branch operations going forward.
