President Donald Trump has announced Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin as the new United States Secretary of Homeland Security, replacing Kristi Noem. Mullin is known for his conservative views on immigration and has aligned closely with Trump on border security and law enforcement.
Mullin has advocated for strict border security, emphasizing the need to secure borders and enforce immigration laws. He has also praised Trump's immigration policies and defended Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents amid protests and threats.
In January, Mullin publicly supported ICE officer Jonathan Ross, who fatally shot Renee Nicole Macklin Good in a self-defense incident. Mullin argued that Ross had the right to defend himself after Macklin Good drove her vehicle towards him.
