<p>After Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer disparaged ICE and Border Patrol, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin didn’t just push back; he lit a match and scorched Schumer’s credibility on national television.</p>
<p>“It makes my ears red,” a visibly incensed Mullin fired back following Schumer’s claim that Border Patrol and ICE are agencies &#8220;nobody respects.&#8221; Mullin continued his blistering counter-attack: “It takes a lot to get me upset. But Chuck Schumer, no one respects you. The definition of a lying scumbag politician, that is you; you would be the definition if you Googled you right now.”</p>
<p>Mullin’s righteous indignation comes after Schumer has <a href="https://www.democrats.senate.gov/news/press-releases/leader-schumer-floor-remarks-ahead-of-voting-against-the-dhs-funding-bill-instead-urging-republicans-to-work-with-democrats-to-rein-in-ice">suggested</a> ICE could become a “rogue&#8221; force. The DHS Secretary was quick to point out the staggering hypocrisy of a man whom he said enjoys 24/7 taxpayer-funded security while simultaneously working to defund the men and women protecting the rest of the country. “How about he walks around these city streets without a detail? I wonder how safe he would feel,” Mullin challenged.</p>

<p>The verbal fireworks exploded just as the Senate GOP moved to bypass Democratic obstruction through budget reconciliation. Early Thursday, in a 50-48 vote, Republicans advanced a plan to dedicate roughly $70 billion to ICE and Border Patrol — a move necessitated by Schumer’s refusal to fund the agencies through traditional means. When California Democrat Senator Adam Schiff <a href="https://www.schiff.senate.gov/news/press-releases/news-in-new-report-sen-schiff-exposes-over-140-million-dedicated-to-ice-and-cbps-deadly-arsenal-of-weapons-and-munitions-since/">attacked</a> “multi-million-dollar surge in spending and contracts to amass deadly weapons and ammunition since the start of the second Trump administration,” in February, the DHS press office <a href="https://thelalocal.org/immigration/ice-and-border-patrol-weapons-spending-exploded-in-2025-says-new-report/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CA%20law%20enforcement%20agency%20purchasing,in%20an%20email%20to%20LAist.">responded</a>, “A law enforcement agency purchasing law enforcement officers guns and non-lethal resources — really riveting reporting.”</p>
<p>For Mullin, the issue isn&#8217;t just about the budget resolution — it’s about the safety of American streets. He noted that Schumer had years during the Biden administration to address the border, but instead chose to let &#8220;criminals run amok.&#8221; Now, as the Trump administration moves to arm 12,000 new agents to restore order, the Democrats are resorting to name-calling and fear-mongering.</p>
<p data-path-to-node="5">As the budget battle moves to the House, the lines are drawn. On one side stands Schumer, decrying &#8220;lawlessness&#8221; while opposing the very funding needed to end it; on the other stands Mullin and a GOP majority finally willing to give federal agents the tools they need to do their jobs. As Mullin made clear, if Schumer wants to find the source of the &#8220;chaos&#8221; he claims to despise, he doesn&#8217;t need an oversight report — he just needs a mirror.</p>
