Mullin Defends ICE Tactics and Rejects Reimbursement for Political Ads
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin appeared on 'Face the Nation' to address the aftermath of Hurricane Isaias, recent ICE enforcement actions, and the planned livestreaming of a firing squad execution. He confirmed that federal resources are being deployed for storm recovery but declined to release body-camera footage from a recent shooting in New York City, citing an ongoing FBI investigation. Mullin also rejected calls to reimburse taxpayers for $20 million in political ads funded by Customs and Border Protection, arguing that such spending serves as necessary public service announcements.
