WATCH: Sen. Hawley questions Sen. Mullin in DHS confirmation hearing

Published | Video Starts at 01:47

A few days before that, in Austin, Texas, three people were fatally shot outside of a bar there when a gunman opened fire in the early hours of a Sunday morning. That gunman also had potential terrorist ties. And yet DHS is shut down. Just a week ago, a gunman loaded his truck with incendiary devices and rammed it into the Temple Israel Synagogue outside Detroit, Michigan. 40 law enforcement officers had to get emergency medical attention. It's a miracle. By the grace of God, nobody was killed except for the gunman. But 40 individuals had to get medical attention. And yet DHS is still shut down. (01:47–02:02)
