Trump’s DHS Pick Just Advanced and MAGA Is Watching for One Thing Only

The Senate just took a big step toward confirming President Trump’s pick to lead DHS, advancing Markwayne Mullin in a 54 to 37 vote and setting up a final decision in the coming days.

And honestly, this is great news.

After months of chaos, controversy, and slow movement at DHS, there is a chance to reset the department with someone who is aligned with what voters actually demanded. Not what bureaucrats want. Not what activists scream about. What voters want.

But let’s be very clear about something.

The excitement around Mullin is not about personality, though that is really great. It is not even about “stability,” despite what the headlines say.

It is about one thing: results.

MAGA voters have been crystal clear. They want illegal immigrants deported, and they want it happening yesterday.

Mullin has signaled support for aggressive immigration enforcement and mass deportation efforts, which is exactly why this nomination matters in the first place.

So yes, we are happy to see this moving forward. This is a win. It is momentum. It is a step in the right direction.

But the real celebration does not happen when the Senate votes. It happens when planes of illegal immigrants start taking off.
