The House Homeland Security Committee is holding a hearing with @SecMayorkas.

I'll be listening for cyber mentions.

The panel chair finished his time w/o asking one question and mostly just yelling at the secretary about the border, so hopes are low. @SecMayorkas "I think there's over eight reports that Congress does do from DHS and CISA," @RepGarbarino says, noting the cyber wing's force structure assessment is over a year later.

@SecMayorkas promises to follow up and says DHS is working "mightily" to complete congressional homework.
