Mullin's magical mystery trip—classified, he says, but no clarity who bestowed that status, when, how or why, or where he went on this secret mission. We need answers before the Senate votes on his nomination. 1/
Pressed by my questions, Mullin rejected commitment to real reform—basic changes to rein in a lawless, reckless law enforcement bureaucracy. 2/
White House minions like Stephen Miller will continue to have real power—like imposing quotas for arrests of 3,000 a day, which Mullin refused to disavow. Meeting those numbers means indiscriminate mass arrests & sweeps. 3/
No commitment by Mullin to the reforms Americans are demanding at DHS—after seeing American citizens illegally arrested, dragged from cars & assaulted, shot, even killed. Un-American brutality & violence. 4/
Reforms are vital to impose rules that your local police must routinely follow—badge identification, body cameras, no masks or mass arrest sweeps, judicial warrants for all forcible home entries. Mullin's evasive, equivocal answers speak volumes. 5/
