Senate Confirms Mullin to Lead Financialized Mass Deportations #

Thursday, 26 March 2026 · words

The Senate has confirmed Markwayne Mullin as the new Secretary of Homeland Security, signaling the total industrialization of the border. Mullin, a staunch ally of the administration, is set to oversee the implementation of $15,000 visa bonds — a policy that transforms the human right to asylum into a high-yield financial instrument. This is the 'Border Toll Booth,' where mobility is reserved for those who can pay, and the poor are processed through a sprawling system of private detention. By framing immigration as a revenue-generating opportunity for private contractors, the new DHS leadership is ensuring that the cruelty of mass deportation remains a profitable enterprise for the ruling class.
