The Markey-led letter to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin demands that DHS stop unlawfully receiving Medicaid data from HHS and requests written answers and accompanying documents by September 4, 2026, including questions about ICE requests, received data, and enforcement uses.
Assessments
Markey led official Senate letters dated August 17, 2026 to HHS/CMS and DHS/ICE demanding that the agencies stop Medicaid data sharing for immigration enforcement and provide written answers and documents to Congress by September 4, 2026. Because the promise was to press the agencies for answers by that deadline, not necessarily to obtain the answers, the documented letters satisfy the promised federal oversight action during his current Senate term.
