ICE Should Show It Hasn’t Been “Infiltrated by Violent Extremists,” Senator Urges
2026-07-07 01:20 UTC
A Democratic senator has asked newly confirmed Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to explain the department’s racist social media presence and assure the agency has not been “infiltrated by violent extremists.”
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., pointed to a March bulletin from Colorado law enforcement analysts that was unearthed by The Intercept last month. It warned that DHS posts using language popular with neo-Nazis could inspire acts of far-right violence within the U.S. as well as prompt white supremacists to join the agency.

ice was “infiltrated” by violent extremists in the same way that auto repair shops are “infiltrated” by mechanics

That’s the best moral outrage the Democrats can come up with? Seriously? No wonder we get our ass kicked all the time.
