What happened

The Senate Homeland Security Committee heard immigration-enforcement testimony on Thursday, February 12, 2026, in two panels, according to CBS’s Face the Nation, whose full-video posting of the hearing is embedded above. The first panel featured Minnesota officials — Attorney General Keith Ellison, Representative Tom Emmer, state Representative Harry Niska, and Minnesota Department of Corrections Commissioner Paul Schnell — and a second panel featured federal immigration-enforcement officials, including Todd Lyons, the acting head of ICE, and CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott, according to the CBS description of the hearing.

Why it matters

Two days after the House oversight hearing, the Senate panel put Scott’s CBP account on the record in the chamber that confirmed him — the second half of the February 2026 congressional examination of the border and enforcement record, and the Senate-side counterpart to the House appearance paged on this site.
