"Whether it be protecting the homeland from bad actors, stopping dangerous drugs from flowing into American communities, or removing the worst-of-the-worst criminal illegal aliens, Senator Mullin will work tirelessly to implement the President's agenda."
"The sprawling department, with a workforce of roughly 260,000 employees, oversees a diverse mission set of responsibilities ranging from protecting the president from a bullet to helping states recover from disasters to deporting people in the country illegally."
Markwayne Mullin, an Oklahoma senator with 13 years in Congress, appears before senators for his confirmation hearing as President Trump's pick for Homeland Security secretary. He would replace Kristi Noem, who was recently fired. The Department of Homeland Security is the third-largest Cabinet department with approximately 260,000 employees responsible for diverse missions including presidential protection, disaster recovery, and immigration enforcement. Mullin, a former mixed martial arts fighter and plumbing business owner, has previously supported immigration operations. His confirmation hearing will focus on his plans to execute Trump's mass deportation agenda. Democrats are expected to question his immigration views and implementation strategy.
