Mullin Quietly Recalibrates DHS, Steers the Immigration Drive

New DHS chief Markwayne Mullin has adopted a low-profile, “quieter and smarter” approach to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, dialing back public confrontations, shelving mega-detention plans, and undoing several Kristi Noem-era policies while reshuffling leadership. The goal is to meet the president’s deportation promises without the dramatic protests that followed earlier actions, though skeptics warn progress is hard to gauge and GOP support remains mixed as Mullin builds his team and navigates White House expectations.
