DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin blames 'kamikaze' Democrats for supply issues

newsMay 7, 2026101,574

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said “kamikaze” Democrats sabotaged Department supplies, claiming they disrupted food deliveries and even office paperclips during the recent shutdown in televised remarks. Mullin said the disruptions forced operational strains at DHS and described the shortages as intentional sabotage rather than routine logistical problems. The mix of trivial items like paperclips with essential supplies highlights risks of politicizing resource allocation at DHS and could undermine readiness and public trust.

New Yorkers are well known for their tolerance of bullying......... /s

Bring it on….money is on my fellow New Yorkers

Of course, with Trump failing internationally, he will always resort to more violence. bsky.app/profile/chri...

I hope Mamdani & Hochel intend to use the National Guard & NYPD to arrest & detained every agent they send. It is time to stop complying with these Nazi death campers & to start prosecuting them for their anti-judicous behavior. Kidnapping, assault, unlawful detention, acting w/out warrants,

Some shit never changes... Mullin is just as bad as the puppy killer, if not worse. So much for the new and improved ICE.

Honestly they never left NYC. They still harass, arrest and detain people in all boroughs. You only see it in the news when it becomes violent. If this clown thinks he can send in more ICE thugs, he better be prepared for war! NYC will be ready. We got a new mayor. We will put up a fight!

People, if you’re in a position to deny ICE, ICE cosplayers & CBP kidnappers service in your businesses, do it! #Don’tDoBusinessWithICE Not one bottle of water, not one slice of pizza, not one drop of gasoline…and no restroom keys or hotel rooms. Be sure to post a sign like this one:

Citizens of New York! Protect the immigrants! Do not bow to these illegal actions.

NY! We got all kinds of free signs & stickers for you to print in protest! Print. Hang. Repeat. We know you know a place that needs a resistance sign slapped up. Do it! PaperAmmunition.com

This will not end well for ICE. I’m here for the show!

ICE will find out from fucking around with New Yorkers …

Good luck with that! New Yorkers don't mess around. I know, my mom is a New Yorker through and through!

NYC nice isn’t Minnesota nice. Not even close.

I think the play here is to frame it as "country values" vs "democratic hellscape" run by a "terrorist mayor" Look for this. Pretty sure thats how they will sell it.

If they thought Minneapolis was tough they haven’t seen anything yet.

Let’s call this what it is. Election interference. Trump is going to overwhelm NYS with ICE to undermine the Governor’s race for her reelection. Just like he did to Walz in Minnesota. Yes it is authoritarian fascist dictatorship in play. All non emergency Fed actions are election interference!

youvotedforthis2.bsky.social4

Great! That will be the start of their tourist season. How will they determine tourists on a visa from residents? Sounds like pure retribution!

Cheeky Alpha Monkey4

They’re going to find a very different reception in NYC than in Minneapolis…elbows up, New Yawk, incoming 🔥👊🤨

calenyc.bsky.social4

@mayor.nyc.gov time for some road work to gum up transportation. Maybe also time to mitigate toxins in any buildings that might be needed by ICE. Maybe start right off with a general strike and leave the streets to the ICEcapades. Shut down the city until businesses demand ICE leave.

Max Burbank3

Give 'em hell, NYC. ICE has no idea what they are getting into.

NurseGenius3

Will these be the trained ICE Agents or the fast track Proud Boys that could pass the most remedial requirements? BeBest DHS

This is Our New Normal3

They will egg them on to elicit violent response. Don't fall for it. They are showing peaceful protests differently on rightwing media, including AI-generated violence. A MAGA ex-friend showed me Hispanic throwing bricks @ ICE cars. 47 wants a race riot so he can impose Martial Law before Midterms.

Destroying is their goal- they will do anything to control,bring the military into our communities.

KeepItReal2

They can't have Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on the actual border... It might cut the record levels of cocaine rolling into the USA. /sarcasm www.jezebel.com/trump-has-dr...

Trump is following Hitlers Nazi plan verbatim: Whoever can conquer the street will one day conquer the state, for every form of power politics and any dictatorship-run state has its roots in the street. Joseph Goebbels, Hitlers right hand man

Choosing a metropolitan area with high visibility and low tolerance for BS is a strategic measure to ramp up civil disobedience/disorder with less than 6 months to go until midterms. We ❤️ NY.

I see that the right is really "toning down the rhetoric" 🙄

In Minneapolis, you all shot and killed two US citizens in broad daylight.

STFU, Markwayne. You’re all talk. We saw the real you, your cowardice crouching in the aisles on J6.

They were huffing and puffing about inflammatory rhetoric just last week. Does this variety of malicious, ridiculous drivel not fall into that category? Of course. Inflammatory rhetoric is all they've got.

They want a race war.

Can't we just ignore everything these motherfuckers say for the next 2-1/2 years? (I know we can't, but maybe just the bare minimum. The malignant stupidity is killing me.)

The DHS secretary is on <checks notes> Fox Business.... because he knows that's a channel that's on in Executive Time in the WH? How much does your boss suck at 1:1s that you have to go on TV to give your status update?

Jo2

Nope. Don’t like the references to Germany & Japan, don’t like the overall rhetoric, don’t like the man saying it. Just nope

"Putting our homeland at risk"

That's... a lot of blinking.

I predict Markwayne Mullin will not quite understand what’s happening at his sentencing cuz lawyerin’ is hard!

Now this is funny He and his party have the majority

What an asshat, immediately flashing his partisan colors in a job that should always require nonpartisanship.

Ask him to spell 'kamikaze'. Bet ya he can't do it.

So tired of these terrible people dividing this nation. Also the Dems need to tone down the rhetoric
