Analysis
What the official said
““In the last week alone, ICE has deported dangerous criminals from our country, including murderers, rapists, drug traffickers, and violent assailants," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin.”
Claimant: Markwayne Mullin Secretary of Homeland Security
Agency or office: Department of Homeland Security
Context
DHS news release (official.gov) listing recent deportations and quoting DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin characterizing those deported as "murderers, rapists, drug traffickers, and violent assailants."
Evidence
This is a precise factual claim made in a DHS press release naming specific individuals and alleged convictions. The department's release directly asserts the deportation date and that the individual has a homicide conviction. These assertions are verifiable via official removal records and criminal-court records; the release itself is the primary official source but does not link to underlying court documents in the text.
