DHS chief blasts Democrats for staging 'all for show' protest at Newark ICE detention facility on Memorial Day

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin criticized Democratic protesters for staging a Memorial Day demonstration at a Newark ICE detention facility, calling it a 'political stunt' and accusing them of prioritizing criminals over honoring fallen troops. He disputed claims of detainee hunger strikes and accused New Jersey officials like Sen. Andy Kim and Gov. Mikie Sherrill of amplifying the confrontation, while citing Antifa involvement and law enforcement inaction.
