Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin defended plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan, a convicted mass murderer, rejecting concerns that broadcasting it could fuel radicalization or make him a martyr.

The proposal has sparked debate among legal scholars and officials over the ethics and potential consequences of televising a federal execution, a move without recent precedent in the US military justice system.
