Mayorkas testifies before House on DHS budget amid border turmoil: Watch live

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is set to testify on the president’s fiscal 2025 budget request before a House Appropriations subcommittee.

In March, the president rolled out his sweeping $7.3 trillion budget request for 2025, with a set of ambitious proposals aimed at raising taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations.

The sprawling proposal calls for more support for a wide array of agencies and services key to Democratic priorities, including increases to the maximum Pell Grant award and the housing voucher program, improved immigration courts, and Democratic wish list items such as a proposal for a new program guaranteeing affordable child care for families with annual incomes below $200,000.

The event is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. EDT.
