Episode Details

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is rallying state and local governments to partner with federal immigration authorities, targeting only those with criminal convictions who are unlawfully in the country—no random sweeps, just focused enforcement. Speaking at the National Governors Association, he urged governors to honor immigration detainers, which allow federal agents to request holding undocumented individuals post-sentence, avoiding chaotic public arrests. He cited Oklahoma’s success and the World Cup as proof that collaboration boosts security without fanfare. While critics call his stance too soft, Mullin insists zero tolerance applies to those with criminal records or who haven’t followed legal paths to stay. Under his leadership, daily immigration arrests have surged past 1,500—proof, he says, that the system works for those who follow the rules, not those who don’t.
