Report: DHS Secretary Mullin Calls Relationship with Shapiro ‘Real Good’
Trump overruled a weather-related cancellation after officials evacuated attendees and delayed the event for hours, then watched fireworks after 11 p.m.
- President Donald Trump overruled Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on the "Salute to America 250" event, forcing it to proceed despite severe weather warnings that prompted officials to recommend cancellation.
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, brought in to stabilize the department following the turbulent tenure of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, has repeatedly clashed with the president, according to The Free Press.
- When severe weather moved into the area, Mullin issued a directive to cancel the celebration on the National Mall; Trump personally overruled the decision, delivering remarks after 11 p.m.
- Trump later wrote on social media that he had "immediately overturned" the cancellation, while the White House's public statement praising the event did not dispute reports of the president's private anger.
- Ongoing friction defines their relationship, including a recent disagreement over an ICE memo instructing agents to stop making arrests at traffic stops, though Mullin has made inroads with Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.
