Washington, D.C. — Following Sen. Markwayne Mullin's Senate confirmation as the next Homeland Security secretary the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) leadership issued the following statement:
“As long as Stephen Miller is in control, there is no 'kinder, gentler’ DHS. We know President Trump fired Secretary Noem not because of her corruption, incompetence or open disdain for civil liberties, but because she was dragging down his poll numbers.
We have no reason to think Markwayne Mullin will be any different.
Washington, D.C. — Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chair Rep. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) released the following statement on Monday in response to President Trump's deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in airports:
“This is a dangerous escalation that politicizes our airports and undermines the rule of law. Threatening mass arrests based on nationality is discriminatory, unlawful, and puts civil liberties at risk," said CHC Chair Rep. Adriano Espaillat. "During a time when airline operations are under heightened scrutiny, our aviation system must remain focused on safety, not serve as a tool for fear or political theater.”
