DHS Secretary Mullin Visits Colorado, Addresses Immigration Enforcement and Aurora TB Dispute

By Karen Morfitt | CBS Colorado

A visit to Colorado this week by U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin largely flew under the radar. Mullin visited Colorado’s supermax prison, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center and Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices in southern Colorado before holding a private meeting with Rep. Gabe Evans, a Republican who represents Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, and Hispanic faith leaders.

Mullin said on Friday he wanted to address what he called “false rumors” about immigration enforcement.

“Being able to talk to faith leaders who can talk to their congregation about the actual facts instead of what they say online, I think they were very thankful,” Mullin said.

CBS Colorado caught up with the Homeland Security Secretary after the meeting to ask, among other things, whether the agency has shifted away from targeting what it has described as “the worst of the worst.”
