Abstract

The article focuses on the confirmation of Markwayne Mullin as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), placing the Oklahoma Republican senator in charge amid a 37-day funding shutdown of the agency. Mullin, a first-term senator and former mixed martial arts fighter, is known for supporting former President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies. The DHS shutdown has caused long airport security lines and operational challenges, as most employees have been working without pay. The funding impasse stems from Democratic demands for restrictions on immigration enforcement tactics, including limits on mask-wearing by agents and requirements for judicial warrants.
