Senate advances Mullin’s DHS nomination - Politico
Overview
The Senate advanced Rep. Markwayne Mullin's nomination to serve as Homeland Security secretary, moving him closer to confirmation while his House seat was temporarily filled. After advancing, Mullin said CBP officers based at Newark airport might be pulled to respond to protests at Delaney Hall, highlighting potential operational impacts of his leadership. During confirmation questioning he also declined to commit to following court orders, saying courts may be politicized, which raises additional legal and ethical concerns about how his DHS would respond to judicial rulings.
