Homeland Security Secretary Mullin Faces Senate Scrutiny Over DHS Budget and Immigration Policies
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is set to testify before the Senate appropriations subcommittee on homeland security regarding the agency's budget. This comes amid heightened scrutiny of the Trump administration's immigration enforcement strategies and preparations for the upcoming World Cup. Mullin, appointed by President Trump following the dismissal of his predecessor Kristi Noem, is expected to address concerns about the potential withdrawal of U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers from airports in sanctuary cities, a move that could disrupt international travel. Additionally, Mullin will face questions about a recent policy change by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services requiring most green card applicants to apply from their home countries, which has caused confusion among immigration lawyers and their clients.
