Mullin vows ‘zero change’ on immigration after Republicans suffer crushing midterm losses

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the administration would make “zero change” to its immigration policy after Republicans suffered major losses in the midterm elections. He ruled out amnesty and argued that strict enforcement is essential to national security.

Mullin said the department was deporting about 3,600 people a day and had shifted its focus towards people he described as the “worst of the worst”, including violent offenders and cartel members. He also said Republicans could not rely on Democrats to cooperate, and that President Donald Trump would veto legislation he opposed.
