DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin has paused the purchase of new immigrant detention warehouses to review contracts established by his predecessor, Kristi Noem, following local community pushback and infrastructure concerns.
Outlets across the spectrum report on Secretary Mullin’s decision to halt warehouse acquisitions, with CBS News and The Dispatch highlighting his intent to address local infrastructure concerns and improve community partnerships.
