DeLauro highlighted that 3,900 children had been separated from their families, prompting Mullin to counter by blaming the Biden administration. The clash included finger-pointing and demands for order, with Amodei attempting to regulate the proceedings. mullin accused DeLauro of lying, while Amodei emphasized the importance of structured debate.
