Sen. Thom Tillis said Tuesday he would put a hold on floor action to confirm groups of presidential nominees and might soon expand that to legislation and nominees at four committees, part of his demand for Department of Homeland Security data on immigration enforcement in his state.
At a DHS oversight hearing at the Senate Judiciary Committee, the North Carolina Republican told Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that he was still demanding the information he had asked for a month ago.
“As of today, I’ll be informing leadership that I’m putting a hold on any en bloc nominations until I get a response,” Tillis said at the hearing. “And in two weeks, if I don’t get a response, I’m going to deny quorum and mark up in as many committees as I can until I get a response.”
