DHS leaders to testify before House Homeland Security Committee
29/1/2026 | 6 mins.
Top officials at the Department of Homeland Security will testify in front of the House next month. Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edlow are all slated to testify February 10 in front of the Homeland Security Committee. They’ll face a barrage of questions about the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. Homeland Security Committee Chairman Andrew Garbarino says transparency and communication are needed to “turn the temperature down.”

Senate leaders want answers from Social Security about DOGE sharing its data
28/1/2026 | 5 mins.
Leaders of the Senate Finance Committee want answers from the Social Security Administration about DOGE sharing its data. Chairman Mike Crapo and Ranking Member Ron Wyden are asking SSA what agency data was shared with outside groups. The Justice Department recently told a federal court that DOGE staffers at the agency discussed sharing agency data with an advocacy group looking to “overturn election results” in some states. DOJ referred the two DOGE employees for potential violations of the Hatch Act.

27/1/2026 | 6 mins.
The IRS says it’s ready for an increased workload after the start of this year’s tax filing season on Monday. The agency expects to receive 164 million individual income tax returns with most taxpayers filing electronically. The agency lost about a quarter of its workforce last year. Last week the IRS announced a last-minute shakeup of its executive leadership. Taxpayers have until April 15 to file their tax returns or request an extension.

House Homeland Security Cmte Chairman calls for USCIS CBP and ICE leaders to testify
26/1/2026 | 6 mins.
A top House Republican is calling on Department of Homeland Security officials to testify in front of Congress. Homeland Security Committee Chairman Andrew Garbarino formally requested testimony from the heads of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Garbarino says he wants to make sure those agencies are effectively using their resources. But his letter comes in the aftermath of another deadly shooting by a federal agent in Minnesota as part of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

House passes final spending bills before January 30th deadline
23/1/2026 | 6 mins.
The House on Thursday passed the final group of spending bills needed before the January 30th funding deadline. In a vote of 341 to 88, lawmakers approved fiscal 2026 funding for the departments of Defense, Labor, Education, Transportation and Health and Human Services. But due to Democratic opposition over ICE funding, the spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security passed with a much narrower margin, in a party line vote of 220 to 207. The appropriations package now heads to the Senate for consideration.
