He said they violated more court orders in January than most agencies have throughout their entire existence.

Murphy: Can you commit to us that if judge finds that what DHS is illegal, that you will comply with the court order? Mullin: If we didn't think courts were politicized, then I would probably be able to answer that Murphy: You’re going to pick and choose what court orders you obey? Mullin: Don’t put words in my mouth. Murphy: You just said you may not follow court orders— Mullin: Don’t put words in my mouth. Murphy: Will you implement court orders? Mullin: You're making an assumption on court orders I haven't seen Murphy: If you're a Republican or a Democrat on this committee, you should be really, really freaked out— Mullin: We should be really concerned about the rulings that come out of the courts.

Watch as Secretary Markwayne Mullin refuses to tell Rep. Dan Goldman that he will follow court orders. The Trump Administration wants to act as both the Executive and the Judicial branches of government. It's quite clear. They want to determine what is and is not the law.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT): “Now that you are on the job, can you commit to us that if a court judges something ICE is doing, something DHS is doing, is illegal, is unconstitutional, tells you to stop — that you will comply with the court order?” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin: “We will never break the Constitution, and we’re not going to break the law, but we’re gonna enforce our nation’s laws, and we’re gonna enforce the laws that you guys passed, and that we implement. We will never go outside that, and if we do, we will hold each other accountable for that.” Chris Murphy: “But that doesn’t sound like the same thing as committing that you will obey a court order. Obviously, the entire structure of the federal government gives the power to the federal court to divine whether you are obeying or not. I mean, I think it’s an easy thing to say. Will you or will you not implement court orders?” Markwayne Mullin: “If we didn’t think courts were politicized, then I would probably be able to answer that. But we see courts over and over again that use their bench for their political opinion, not just the rule of law. And we can see that because we see how many times —” Chris Murphy: “You’re going to pick and choose what court orders you obey?” Markwayne Mullin: “We’re saying we’re going to enforce the law and we’re never gonna break the Constitution.”

Absolutely insane… The director of ICE just testified that there are 1.6 million illegal immigrants in the country with *existing* deportation orders. They already had their day in court, were ordered removed, and simply never left.

Rep. Kennedy: "Do you believe your agency has a legal obligation to follow court orders?" ICE Dir. Lyons: "Yes." Rep. Kennedy: "You have a very strange way of showing it, with a federal judge finding that your agency is in violation of 96 orders in one month alone."

As WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lies to your face about prices coming down, reality is that Trump's first 100 days in office have been worse than any president in history. - Gas prices are up. - Grocery prices are up. - Odds of a recession are way up. - The stock market is way down! - He violated the Constitution multiple times. - He is trying to levy the largest tax increase in the past several decades on the American people. - He deported breastfeeding mothers away from their children. - He has jailed potentially innocent fathers without any due process. - He violated court orders. - He ignored Supreme Court orders. - Military attack plans have been mishandled and leaked. - He threatened to use the U.S. Military to annex Greenland. - He broke his promise to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours. - He broken his promise to lower prices in 24 hours. - His approval rating is worse than any president in the past 80 years after 100 days in office.

Today Secretary Markwayne Mullin yet again tried to defend ICE’s lawless deportation dragnet by asserting that they are going after the “worst of the worst.” Nobody is fooled by this flat-out lie. In fact, ICE has been violating their own policy for a year by arresting people at immigration court. But Secretary Mullin didn’t even know that. DHS does not get to make up their own laws and it’s time Sec. Mullin learns what they are and follows them.

ACLU’s Lee Gelernt: I’ve been doing this work for more than three decades. I’ve never seen anything like this. One of the major differences between Trump 1 and Trump 2 is the absolute disrespect they’re showing to the courts. No prior administration, no prior Justice Department—whether it’s a Democratic or Republican administration—has ever done things like this. This is just a blatant disregard for federal court orders. In some ways, this transcends everything and is more important than everything else because if the executive branch and the Justice Department can just thumb their nose at court orders, then the whole system breaks down.

Israel bombed an entire residential neighborhood in Beirut, violated Security Council resolution SCR 1701, the ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences. This is another war crime and the International Criminal Court remains silent.

THREAD: 🚨Simple and Popular Steps DHS Homeland Security Can Take Under Newly Nominated DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s Leadership to Get Mass Deportations Back on Track Markwayne Mullin 🚨 Many people have expressed their concerns that mass deportation numbers are beginning to slip. This can largely be attributed to the multiple upheavals levied against DHS Homeland Security by House and Senate Democrats. However, there are some steps Secretary Markwayne Mullin Markwayne Mullin can take as DHS Secretary that would streamline the mass deportations process. First, let’s focus on the victories that Secretary Mullin has already achieved. On March 18, 2026, Senate Democrats believed they had Mullin in a “gotcha” moment as Senator Andy Kim from New Jersey asked Mullin if he would rescind former Secretary Kristi Noem Kristi Noem’s rule, which required the DHS Secretary to personally review DHS contracts over $100k. Mullin committed that he would, saying: “That’s called micromanaging. And I don’t know if Secretary [Noem] put that in or someone else did. I’m not a micromanager. We put people in, we empower them to make decisions. What is required to come up to my level, we’ll make decisions. We will have a very clear line of communication with every one of our agency’s heads on their authority that you gave to them within their parameters, and we’ll discuss. But we’re also going to be very responsible for the taxpayer dollars.” It looks like Secretary Markwayne Mullin put his money where his mouth is. WATCH 👇🏻

Yesterday, Secretary Markwayne Mullin was in Western North Carolina with state and local leadership to highlight disaster relief achievements following Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Florence. In total, FEMA has provided more than $5.4 billion to North Carolina for recovery efforts. DHS will always stand by Americans in need!
