Two months after the Trump administration fired Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem under a cloud of controversy, DHS' most aggressive and controversial practices have largely continued under her successor, Markwayne Mullin.
Mullin replaced Noem in March after months of growing external outrage and internal dissatisfaction with her leadership. Along with allegations of frivolous spending sprees by Noem and other top aides, there were repeated instances of DHS officials lying about deadly and violent incidents involving immigration agents.
