DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin gets Senate hearing Wednesday
CNBC
President Donald Trump tapped Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to replace Kristi Noem as the head of the Department of Homeland Security.
The Senate on Wednesday will begin its consideration of Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to lead the Department of Homeland Security.
President Donald Trump tapped Mullin, a close congressional ally of the president, to lead the agency earlier this month after firing Kristi Noem, who was mired in controversy.
Mullin is a hardliner who has endorsed the Trump administration's immigration policies but is generally well-liked by his Senate peers. He will likely get tough questions from Democrats on the panel, who have been sharply critical of Trump's mass deportation policies and liberal deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal immigration agents.
