Mullin on DHS, Reform, and Gridlock | Anchorage News

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin got a sobering firsthand look at the nation’s border security operations during a visit to Anchorage, where he witnessed agents intercept counterfeit goods—including a deadly date-rape drug disguised as massage oil. Calling the screening process “overwhelming,” Mullin praised the unsung heroes of DHS while pushing for overdue immigration reform, frustrated that decades-old laws and congressional gridlock block meaningful change. He accused some Democrats of favoring open borders and defunding law enforcement, echoing tensions that contributed to a record-long government shutdown. Despite political headwinds and bipartisan criticism of his predecessor, Mullin reaffirmed DHS’s mission: enforce existing laws, not rewrite them—and relentlessly strive to do better each day for every American.
