Despite assurances of a more moderated approach under Markwayne Mullin, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) remains a rogue organization. Mullin’s tenure has been marked by a focus on cosmetic changes, deflecting attention from ongoing mass deportations and concerning incidents like a fatal shooting in Houston.

Experts warn that this persistent refusal to address substantive issues within ICE allows for the perpetuation of dangerous practices, with ICE shootings on pace to outnumber previous years.
