With one Homeland Security secretary already having been exiled from President Donald Trump’s White House in 2026, a new Politico story reveals the second is very much under fire from his colleagues.
According to Monday’s Politico Playbook, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin is facing a revolt not just from outspoken MAGA influencers, but also from within the administration.
“It takes a lot to unite this administration around a cohesive point of view,” an unnamed senior administration official told Politico. “Mullin deserves credit where credit is due. Everyone agrees he sucks donkey butt.”
Mullin’s appearance at the National Governors Association summer meeting in Oklahoma City on Saturday sparked rage on several levels. First, the secretary’s position on amnesty for migrants was seen as far too soft for many MAGA die-hards.
“If we’re looking to grow our economy, we need more permanent solutions on [work visas], because this narrative that it steals American jobs is true in some industries, it’s not true for all industries,” Mullin said. He added, “It is America. We want to take care of Americans first. It’s our economy, it’s our homeland, but there’s a way to utilize labor where we’re not having the participation rate we need to, and we can plug those holes.”
Those comments were ripped by immigration hardliners.
“Mullin is the wrong guy at the wrong time for the wrong job — a time when we need focus on ‘mass deportations,’ we get an amnesty advocate,” Steve Bannon told Politico.
Mullin tried to clean up his comments on X shortly after the speech.
“NO amnesty for illegal aliens,” Mullin wrote. “Ever. We are a nation of laws. If you are illegally present in the United States of America— you will be detained and deported. Period.”
Also, Mullin had a friendly interaction with Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) on Saturday — which was not viewed favorably within MAGA circles.
And on Friday, Politico reported that Mullin enjoys a “surprisingly chummy relationship” with another notable Democrat — Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA).’
“He’s a people pleaser, and that doesn’t work when you’re a Cabinet official,” the unnamed White House official told Politico.
Still, the numbers on removals, arrests, detention population are all up on Mullin’s watch. And Trump himself does not appear to be jumping on board with the critics at the moment.
“The President has confidence in Secretary Mullin and his entire Administration to carry out the agenda the American people voted for,” White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson told Politico.
