Joe Manchin on Mullin Hearing, GOP Filibuster Push & Trump Sending ICE to Airports | The Hill Sunday

Sen. Joe Manchin joins Chris Stirewalt on The Hill Sunday to break down the Mullin confirmation hearing, the GOP’s effort to end the Senate filibuster, and reports that President Trump may deploy ICE agents to airports.

Manchin argues the filibuster is the “soul of the Senate,” meant to cool hot House legislation and protect minority input, and urges Democrats to commit to defending it rather than relying on a few independents as “spear catchers.” On reports the president plans to send ICE agents to airports, he says agents could “rebrand” and present a less confrontational face, but stresses the need for comprehensive immigration reform citing a 2013-style pathway for long-term contributors while reserving enforcement for criminals.
