单集简介 ...

After about two months on the job, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has shifted the agency’s immigration enforcement efforts toward tactics that generate fewer headlines but still result in mass deportations. We discuss what those tactics look like and how the Trump administration is using immigration to appeal to Republicans ahead of November’s election. This episode: political correspondent Tamara Keith, immigration policy correspondent Ximena Bustillo, and White House correspondent Franco Ordoñez. This podcast was produced by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.

  • I'm Tamara Keith.

  • I cover politics.

  • I'm Ximena Bustillo, and I cover immigration policy.

  • And I'm Franco Ordoñez.

  • I cover the White House.

  • Today on the show, Markwayne Mullin took over as Secretary of Homeland Security about two months ago.

  • We're going to take a look at how he's making his mark on immigration enforcement.

  • And Ximena, I want to start with you.

  • What changes have you seen since Mullin came on the job?

  • Out of the headlines.

  • That is what he said during his confirmation hearing.

  • He didn't want essentially the big press about immigration tactics

  • and the use of force that was being used, particularly in cities like Minneapolis,

  • that ultimately did lead to the death of two U.S. citizens there.

  • He wanted to come into the agency, get an understanding of everything that he's working with and dealing

  • with, and then kind of see how to move forward on the Trump mass deportation campaign.
