Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is testifying before the House Appropriations Committee during a DHS Oversight hearing.

Mullin’s testimony comes after an appeals court judge ruled that the Trump Administration may resume swift deportations under the President’s “Protecting the American People Against Invasion” executive order.

A federal judge blocked President Trump from enforcing the order last August.

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals in a 2-1 decision overturned the lower court ruling, allowing Trump to resume the mass deportations.

Meanwhile, the United States has gone 13 months without a single illegal alien making their way through the border.

“Thirteen straight months of ZERO releases at the border. Under President Donald Trump’s leadership, we are delivering the most secure border in American history,” Mullin said in a press release this week.

“The days of catch and release are over. We are enforcing the nation’s laws and quickly sending illegal aliens back to their home countries, ensuring the safety and sovereignty of our nation.”

Mullin’s testimony also comes after 15 Antifa terrorists were sentenced to at least 50 years in prison on terrorism charges for an attack on a Texas ICE detention center last year. Ringleader Benjamin Song was sentenced to 100 years in prison.
