Trump Nominates Mullin for DHS: A Republican Fighter with a Mixed Martial Arts Background
President Trump has nominated Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Mullin, a forty-eight-year-old Republican, built his career in plumbing before entering politics. He won a House seat in 2012 and a Senate seat in 2022, earning a reputation as a fighter from his mixed martial arts and wrestling background. Mullin has drawn criticism for breaking a three-term limit pledge and receiving pandemic relief funds for his businesses. However, he has received praise from tribal leaders for pushing sovereignty issues as a Cherokee Nation citizen. As DHS Secretary, Mullin vows to refocus the department on homeland protection and address reports of immigration enforcement targeting Native people.
