At last week’s nomination hearing, Marlin expressed support for the Trump administration’s immigration policies and urged Democrats to quickly vote to pass the Department of Homeland Security budget to restart the department. Marlin stated, “As Secretary of Homeland Security, I will protect everyone. My goal over the past six months has been to prevent the Department of Homeland Security from making headlines every day.” Since last year, the Department of Homeland Security has repeatedly made headlines over issues such as cracking down on illegal immigration. Democrats are demanding reforms to the Department of Homeland Security and federal law enforcement actions, or they will threaten not to support the budget. The Department of Homeland Security has been shut down since February 14 due to funding exhaustion.
