David Vitter will be testifying at the Louisiana House of Representatives Homeland Security Hearing tomorrow, Thursday, October 16. At the hearing, Vitter will announce a planned settlement agreement that is expected to be reached between the U.S. Army and the Environmental Protection Agency on taking responsibility for the disposal of explosive material at Camp Minden in Minden, La. The agreement is expected to be signed by all parties this month. Vitter will also be testifying about the federal plan to combat the threat of the Ebola virus and the ongoing border crisis. “This announcement for Camp Minden is a great victory, and long overdue. The Army has been dragging its feet for far too long, creating a dangerous situation for folks in Louisiana,” Vitter said. “I’ve been working hard to make sure the Army takes responsibility and cleans up this mess, and I’ll continue holding their feet to the fire until they do.” Homeland Security Hearing 10 a.m. CT House Committee Room 5 State Capitol Baton Rouge Vitter, who is a member of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, will also be testifying about the current strategy to keep the Ebola Virus out of Louisiana and the United States. Vitter has asked for a clear strategy from the Obama Administration, who is currently asking for $1 billion to fight the spread of the virus. Vitter has advocated for more aggressive flight restrictions from areas where the virus is most prevalent and stated there is a clear lack of coordinated efforts by the administration. Vitter is also the Chairman of the U.S. Border Security and Enforcement First Immigration Caucus and has been pushing for solutions to the ongoing border crisis. The most recent immigration crisis with unaccompanied alien children (UAC) has spread into Louisiana and will cost more than $10 million (La. Dept. of Ed estimates nearly $7 million, but Vitter’s estimates are above $10 million) just in the school districts alone. Vitter has proposed legislation that would implement mandatory detention at the border and expedited removal of all illegal aliens. -30- | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
