How Markwayne Mullin Lost MAGA

The president has repeatedly expressed frustration with Mullin in private, two sources familiar with the situation shared, not only over immigration policy, but also over the secretary's attempt to cancel the "Salute To America" fireworks display on July 4 due to severe weather.

White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis told The Daily Wire that Trump "has confidence in his Cabinet to carry out the agenda the American people voted for." But one source with knowledge of the president's frustrations shared that Trump has already considered replacing Mullin.

The Trump administration has deported more than 605,000 illegal aliens this term, according to the White House, and an additional 1.9 million have self-deported. That brings the total number of illegals leaving the United States since the president returned to the White House to over 2.5 million. But for many in the MAGA base, those numbers fall short.

"Every young voter I talk to is asking where the mass deportations are," conservative commentator Jack Posobiec told The Daily Wire. "This is easily a number one issue with many, many among the grassroots who are feeling like the domestic policies have taken a backseat."

"Markwayne Muslim [sic] got rich in industries that depend on cheap illegal alien labor," she posted on August 3. "Now, as DHS Secretary, he's refusing to deport illegals at the scale President Trump promised because those same businesses still 'need' illegal alien workers."

"This is not what we voted for. Once again, Markwayne wants to appease liberal media and big labor," Fox News commentator Tomi Lahren said of Mullin's remarks.
