Mullin's immigration stance triggers conservative backlash

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin drew conservative backlash after an Oklahoma immigration speech advocating reform and visa changes, while reaffirming a no-amnesty stance on social media, a stance critics say conflicts with his earlier remarks and the Trump administration’s deportation agenda. Supporters say he seeks strict enforcement alongside targeted legal-immigration updates to address labor shortages, while opponents, including former Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino, accuse him of flip-flopping on policy.
