Markwayne Mullin Seeks to Revive Homeland Security

Bloomberg: “He is taking over a department whose budget has soared as it carries out Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. Its tactics drove Democrats to block annual funding and played a key role in the ouster of former secretary Kristi Noem. Now, ICE agents are being deployed to another political flashpoint — heading to airports to help deal with long security lines stemming from the shutdown.”

“Mullin doesn’t plan major policy changes, but will be tasked, in part, with reforming the image of an agency whose public standing has plummeted, while still carrying out Trump’s deportation agenda.”
