Mullin doubles down on deportation push amid Salazar critique

Secretary Markwayne Mullin dismissed Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar’s critique of Trump’s immigration crackdown, saying DHS will not slow enforcement and that detained migrants have broken the law. He pushed back on the idea that many detainees lack criminal records, and stressed the administration targets those who didn’t come to the country the right way, not law‑abiding residents, while noting Republicans who entered legally still support the president.
