Trump Clashes with New Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin Over ICE Policy and Personnel

Four months into his tenure, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is facing significant friction with the White House. According to senior administration and DHS officials, the rift stems from Mullin's decision to temporarily restrict ICE vehicle stops after two deadly shootings by immigration officers, a move made without White House approval. President Trump, reportedly furious, ordered the agency to resume traffic stops the next day. Additionally, Mullin's nomination of Lance Schroyer, an ally with no federal law enforcement experience and a history of unpaid child support, to lead ICE has drawn internal criticism. The tensions come amid reports of record-high turnover among Senate-confirmed officials in Trump's second term.
