Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Wednesday said that he backs stronger penalties for protesters or rioters who attempt to reveal the identity of federal immigration agents.
Mullin referenced Democrat-led proposals to require Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to be unmasked while performing their duties. Earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was partially shut down for weeks as Democratic lawmakers pushed for such a mask requirement, among other policy directives that were largely rejected by Republicans.
