Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is not bothered by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar’s (R-FL) campaign advertisement against aggressive immigration enforcement because his department is focused on catching and deporting illegal immigrants.

In the 30-second ad released Thursday, the pro-immigration Republican lawmaker declared the administration’s “immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far” and argued that Hispanic voters who backed President Donald Trump in 2024 “feel betrayed today” by his hard-line stance on immigration.
