Markwayne Mullin survived a 54-37 test vote to advance toward becoming Homeland Security secretary, potentially replacing Kristi Noem as the DHS remains shut down amid a funding stalemate and calls for ICE reforms. Democrats have pressed for judicial warrants for ICE searches and other changes, and Mullin signaled openness to policy adjustments while facing continued scrutiny as his final confirmation vote is expected Monday.
