Newly confirmed Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is inheriting a department in distress.
The MAGA senator from Oklahoma, who is replacing “ICE Barbie” Kristi Noem, will contend with a staffing crisis as hundreds of staffers have quit amid the partial government shutdown, which has left the Department of Homeland Security without funding.
The new chief of the controversial agency, 48, is also set to be thrust into the political crossfire as Congress wrangles over Democrats’ demands for changes to ICE. Noem, 54, is due to leave her post on March 31.
