Sen. Markwayne Mullin isn’t backing down from mass deportations.
Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) moved to the other side of the dais to face questions from his colleagues about taking over the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from Kristi Noem while it is both shut down and in crisis mode. Keep in mind: Mullin is widely expected to be confirmed. Mullin has distanced himself from Noem several times: First, Mullin says he would use “judicial warrants to enter homes, businesses unless we are pursuing a subject who ran into that home.” (Remember: Noem recently argued for warrants that are not signed by a judge.)

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) opened Sen. Markwayne Mullin 's confirmation hearing with a remarkable challenge, daring the Homeland Security secretary nominee to "tell me to my face" why Paul deserved an assault that left him with broken ribs. Why it matters: Mullin's hearing got off to a rocky start — and Paul said afterwards that he would vote against reporting Mullin's nomination out of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which he chairs. - "You have never had the courage to look me in the eye and tell me the assault was justified," Paul said, referring to comments Mullin made at a town hall, where he also called Paul a "freakin' snake ." - "And while you're at it, explain to the American public why they should trust…
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday kept interest rates steady, and chair Jerome Powell said that he will remain in place until his successor is confirmed, raising the prospect that he could continue leading the central bank after his term is up May 15. Why it matters: Powell's remarks set up a high-stakes standoff with the Trump administration over who will lead the world's most important central bank in less than two months. Driving the news: In a news conference following the announcement, Powell said that he intends to serve as "chairman pro tempore" of the Fed after his term as chair is up if his successor — Kevin Warsh, whom President Trump has nominated for the job — has not yet been confirmed. - Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) is…
