Markwayne Mullin, a U.S. senator from Oklahoma, is set to appear before a House Appropriations Committee panel at 10 a.m. on oversight of the Department of Homeland Security. A federal judge blocked certain administration actions on Tuesday. Reports that Mullin serves as DHS Secretary are incorrect.

Read at Washington Examiner →Mullin’s appearance underscores the need for congressional oversight of DHS immigration and enforcement actions, especially after a federal court ruling.
“Emphasizes judicial checks, due process, humanitarian standards, and risks to marginalized communities.”
The testimony allows Mullin to defend tighter immigration controls and address judicial impediments to border enforcement.
“Focuses on restoring rigorous oversight, physical security, and limits on judicial overreach.”
The hearing is a routine oversight exercise that should examine DHS expansion, due process, and privacy concerns rather than funding tweaks.
“Highlights risks of agency mission creep and concentrated federal power.”
All other perspectives rest on the false premise that Mullin is DHS Secretary rather than a senator, collapsing the framing of him defending administration policy.
“Points out the shared factual error and lack of scrutiny on actual institutional roles and hearing substance.”
