## Resource

What happens when a politician with a record of confrontational behavior is put in charge of one of the most powerful domestic security agencies in the country? In this video, we break down the case against Markwayne Mullin leading the Department of Homeland Security—from his history of near-violent confrontations to his rhetoric around political conflict and immigration enforcement. This isn’t about partisanship. It’s about temperament, judgment, and the real-world consequences of leadership style—especially for immigrants and communities directly impacted by DHS policy. Independent media has never been more important.
