Review – Committee Hearings – Week of 2-8-26 –

This week with both the House and Senate in Washington there is a relatively light hearing schedule. The high profile hearing this week will be the House Homeland Security oversight hearing on ICE, CBP, and USCIS. Of more interest here are two markup hearings and an oversight hearing for the remainder of DHS.

Markup Hearings

On Tuesday the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade of the House Energy and Commerce Committee will hold a business meeting to mark up 12 bills, including HR 7390, the SAFE DRIVE Act.

On Wednesday the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee will hold a business hearing to mark up eight bills, including S 3639, the SAT Streamlining Act, and S 1898, the ORBITS Act. This hearing was originally scheduled for February 3^rd, 2026.

Oversight Hearing

On Wednesday the Subcommittee on Homeland Security of the House Appropriations Committee will hold an oversight hearing looking at “Oversight Hearing – Potential DHS Shutdown Impacts”.
