AP Photo/Ben Curtis Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is facing “growing tensions” with White House officials just months into his role, according to a new report. NBC News’ Julia Ainsley and Gabe Gutierrez reported exclusively on Thursday, citing a senior official with President Donald Trump’s administration and a senior DHS official, that Mullin has managed to ruffle feathers and irk the administration multiple times after just four months with DHS. Mullin reportedly first ran into trouble after pausing ICE’s vehicle stops policy following fatal shootings in Texas and Maine. Trump quickly and publicly reversed that decision because Mullin never got approval through the White House, according to the administration official. “Every Cabinet secretary knows that they have to come to the White House for major policy decisions,” the source said. “The president sees, hears, reads everything.” Mullin also “misspoke” during a CNN interview recently when discussing a Supreme Court ruling on protected status for immigrants from Haiti and Syria, saying hundreds of thousands could apply for legal status when they could not. This, according to the report, was “annoying” to some in the administration. The DHS secretary has also reportedly raised concerns with the nomination of Lance Schroyer as ICE director. The former incident commander with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol is a longtime ally of Mullin, but some are concerned he lacks the proper experience for the ICE director role. One person reportedly concerned about Schroyer is Trump border czar Tom Homan. “Homan and others aren’t particularly thrilled with him,” the administration official said. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson released a statement stressing that Trump and Mullin are aligned on their immigration policy efforts. “Secretary Mullin is working hard to implement the President’s immigration enforcement agenda,” she said. “Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Mullin, the border is totally secure, dangerous illegal immigrants are being deported, and Americans are safer. Secretary Mullin will continue to enforce federal immigration law as effectively as possible.”The post Markwayne Mullin Already Facing ‘Growing Tensions’ With Trump White House: Report first appeared on Mediaite.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) branded NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani a “clown” on Wednesday night, suggesting the lawmaker “sit down” as he accused the fellow Democrat of pandering to anti-Israel activists after Mamdani suggested Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could face arrest if he entered the Big Apple. Appearing on Fox News’ Hannity, Fetterman renewed his warning that the Democratic Party is drifting toward a more hostile stance on Israel, pointing to progressive primary victories as evidence of what he described as a growing problem within the party. “I’ve been warning for years that the Democratic Party is going to continue to be more and more anti-Israel,” he said. “Now people like, whether Mamdani or some of the other freak shows that are winning some of these primaries, are now hostile and intensely anti-Israel, you know, really just raging anti-semitism in a lot of the statements that these people have made right now.” Fetterman was reacting to Mamdani’s threat to arrest Netanyahu if he touched down in the city, citing an International Criminal Court warrant. Mamdani later walked back the idea after finding no lawful basis to arrest him. “You are a mayor, dude, you’re a mayor,” Fetterman said. “You can fix a pothole, you can take out the trash, but you can’t order people to arrest anybody any more than I could have him arrested if he goes to Pennsylvania. It’s a joke. And he’s a clown.” The Democratic senator also criticized Mamdani’s reported assertion that Netanyahu “is not welcome in New York,” arguing that elected officials cannot dictate who may enter another jurisdiction. “Sit down,” Fetterman continued. “You know, you’re a clown and you are just going to pander to the fringe, and that’s part of your base.” He continued, jibing at Mamdani: “And I know you’re angry at Netanyahu because he killed a lot of people you admire, whether, like, it’s [former head of Hamas in Gaza Yahya] Sinwar or [former secretary-general of Hezbollah Hassan] Nasrallah or [late ayatollah] Ali Khamenei in Iran.” He added that he has “never heard the mayor” criticize Hamas, Hezbollah, or Iran, arguing Mamdani focuses his criticism exclusively on Israel and Netanyahu.

Speaking after a two-hour simulation on Wednesday, Schumer told MS NOW’s Ali Vitali the planning was necessary to prepare lawmakers for a range of hypothetical threats before, during, and after Election Day, including disinformation campaigns, voter-roll disruptions and other scenarios that could affect the administration of elections. “We have to prepare for it,” Schumer said. “What these so-called tabletop exercises teach us is when you’re prepared in advance, you can stop a lot of bad, bad things from happening. A lot of the stealing that [President Donald Trump] will do, but if you just wait for them to do it and then try to react that day? Not good.” The gathering, attended by nearly a dozen Democratic senators, was the second such session Schumer has convened this year and the first since Trump’s recent primetime address questioning the integrity of the U.S. election system. Schumer said one scenario examined how local authorities could respond if federal immigration agents were deployed near polling places: “What we would do is work with the local Houston Police Department, Dallas Police Department, Bexar County, San Antonio Police Department and figure out ways to stop this ahead of time.” The Democrat pushed back on the idea that role-playing worst-case election scenarios risked undermining public confidence: “In a vacuum, you might be right. But Trump is trying – and all his people are trying – to scare elections. They threaten the election officials.” “If you could do a truth serum and give it to Republican senators, about 80% of them would agree he’s trying to steal the election. The trouble is, they’re too scared to say anything about it,” Schumer insisted. “But if we keep at it and keep at it and keep at it, every so often you get someone on our side. And the more we do that, the greater chance we have of stopping them, but of also winning elections so we can prevent these bad things from ever happening again.” The exercises also followed renewed debate over election security after New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill disclosed that a software error had led to thousands of noncitizens being registered to vote in 2023 and 2024,… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
