上月的确认听证会上，马克韦恩·马林曾承诺，若能顺利就任国土安全部部长，将对该部门进行改革。
他将前部长克里斯蒂·诺姆出台的一项备受争议的政策称为“微观管理”——该政策要求所有超过10万美元的合同都需经她本人批准。他还表示，移民与海关执法局（ICE）的警员将被调离“前线”，回归依靠更严格的司法搜查令进入民宅或私人企业的办案模式。他称，理想状态下，国土安全部不会像诺姆执政时期那样几乎每天都登上新闻头条。
就职宣誓仅9天后，马林就兑现了部分承诺。
但包括广泛支持唐纳德·特朗普总统移民议程的共和党议员在内的一些立法者认为，马林需要采取更进一步的行动——毕竟该部门在上任部长的任期内经历了一整年的混乱，他正试图扭转局面。
合同、拘留中心及ICE执法策略调整
CNN查阅了马林签署的一份新备忘录副本，该备忘录于周三正式生效，废除了诺姆时期的10万美元合同审批政策。这项政策此前被指责在去年多场自然灾害期间造成资金审批瓶颈，引发两党州政府对救灾资金的不满。
新政策规定，所有超过2500万美元的合同需经国土安全部副部长批准，而国土安全部各内设部门负责人则负责审批2500万美元以下的合同。
一位知情人士向CNN透露，马林团队正在对全美各地的移民拘留仓库项目进行全面审查。该人士补充道，大型移民拘留仓库的建设计划已暂停，等待进一步评估。

此举出台前，当地官员甚至部分原本理论上支持拘留项目的共和党议员都提出了强烈反对——他们担忧这类大型设施会给当地基础设施和社区带来过重负担。
部分当地官员告诉CNN，此前与国土安全部官员就这些仓库项目安排的会议已因新领导层下的部门流程审查而暂停。
尽管他们对马林领导的国土安全部将如何改变与拟建拘留仓库所在社区的互动方式抱有一定乐观态度，但鉴于诺姆任期内与国土安全部打交道的经历，当地官员仍持谨慎态度。
“在国土安全部/移民与海关执法局证明我错了之前，我会认为他们过去的行为可以预示其未来的表现，”佐治亚州奥克伍德市市长B·R·怀特说道。此前，国土安全部曾计划在该市兴建一座大型拘留设施，事前未发出任何通知，也未举行公众听证会。
“我也希望他们能证明我错了，”怀特补充道，“希望新任国土安全部部长能像受该部门采购及拟议采购影响的社区一样，理性地发现该项目存在的缺陷和问题。”
一位知情人士向CNN透露，马林还在考虑进一步调整与移民与海关执法局运作相关的规则——这是当前的关键争议点，因为该部门的资金僵局已接近第50天。
国土安全部发言人未立即回应就这些政策调整置评的请求。

“全面审查所有事项”
总体而言，这些调整标志着马林一项更广泛的改革努力：他希望撤销诺姆时期的部分政策，重建与公众及国会关键盟友的信任。在诺姆任期内，议员们往往对本选区发生的重大进展一无所知，且对其优先事项深感担忧。
共和党议员希望，曾担任参议员的马林能成为更乐于合作、更易沟通的伙伴，带领移民执法进入争议更少的新时代。
部分共和党议员敦促马林不要采取零敲碎打的调整方式，而是重新审查诺姆任期内出台的所有政策。他们希望调整方向，让该部门重新聚焦于仅追捕暴力罪犯和有有效驱逐令的人员——因为共和党在诺姆时期推行的全面打击非法移民政策已引发强烈反弹。
“审查诺姆部长任内推行的所有政策，”众议院国土安全监督委员会成员、共和党众议员卡洛斯·希梅内斯在给CNN的寄语中说道，“我认为很多事情都需要改变，希望他能成为变革的推动者。”
带领众议院温和派两党核心小组的共和党众议员布莱恩·菲茨帕特里克于周四与民主党众议员托马斯·苏奥齐共同提出一项法案，将大幅调整政府的遣返作业流程，包括要求探员在大多数情况下摘除口罩，并要求刑事逮捕必须持有司法搜查令。该法案采纳了民主党在国土安全部资金谈判中一直推动的部分改革措施。

曾与在众议院任职期间的马林共事的前联邦调查局探员菲茨帕特里克告诉CNN，他支持强有力的边境安全政策，但认为美国近年来的移民执法存在“过度执法”问题，并希望马林以更具同理心和同情心的态度履职。
“近几个月来，移民执法工作中一直缺乏同理心。我认为我们开展这项工作时必须带着同理心。这些都是活生生的人，无论你如何看待移民问题，我们都必须将人当人看待，”菲茨帕特里克对CNN说道。
菲茨帕特里克已与参议院拨款委员会主席、共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯讨论了他的这项法案。柯林斯一直是国土安全部资金谈判的关键人物，但该法案的通过之路仍不明朗。
早在马林上任前，唐纳德·特朗普总统的边境事务总监汤姆·霍曼就已开始对移民与海关执法局进行改革——此前联邦执法人员在明尼阿波利斯枪杀抗议者蕾妮·古德和亚历克斯·普雷蒂，引发了一系列连锁反应。
霍曼抵达明尼阿波利斯后，替换了备受争议的边境巡逻官员格雷格·博维诺——后者的执法策略被广泛认为加剧了联邦执法人员与抗议者之间的紧张关系。霍曼取消了探员的流动巡逻任务，为所有移民与海关执法局探员配备了随身摄像头，并与当地官员合作缓和紧张局势，随后逐步缩减了该机构在该市的据点。
与诺姆不同，马林已迅速与霍曼建立了密切的合作关系。

Markwayne Mullin has started making policy changes at DHS. Some GOP lawmakers want him to do more

During his confirmation hearing last month, Markwayne Mullin promised to make changes at the Department of Homeland Security if he were to be confirmed as its next secretary.
He called the controversial policy under outgoing Secretary Kristi Noem that required her approval of contracts exceeding $100,000 “micromanaging.” He said Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers would be taken off the “front lines” and revert to relying on more restrictive judicial warrants to enter someone’s home or a private business. Ideally, he said, DHS would not be in the headlines nearly every day as it was under Noem’s leadership.
Nine days after being sworn in, Mullin has delivered on some of those promises.
But some lawmakers, including Republicans who broadly support President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda, want Mullin to go further as he attempts to right an agency that experienced a year of chaos under his predecessor.
Changes for contracts, detention centers and ICE tactics
The $100,000 contract-review policy, which under Noem was blamed for creating a bottleneck of funding during several natural disasters last year and causing bipartisan resentment in states which were seeking much-needed disaster relief, was rescinded on Wednesday, according to a copy of a new memo signed by Mullin and reviewed by CNN.
The new policy now requires all contracts exceeding $25 million be approved by the DHS deputy secretary. Leaders of individual components within DHS are now responsible for greenlighting contracts below $25 million.
Mullin’s team is also reviewing all immigration detention warehouse projects across the country, a source familiar told CNN. The effort to install mega warehouses for migrant detention is being paused pending further review, the source added.

The move comes after significant pushback from local leaders and even some Republican lawmakers who supported the detention effort in theory, but were concerned about the strain such massive facilities would put on local infrastructure and communities.
Some of those local leaders told CNN that meetings that had previously been scheduled with DHS officials about those warehouses have been paused due to the review of DHS processes under the new leadership.
While they’ve expressed some optimism about how a Mullin-led DHS would change how it interacts with local communities where the agency wanted to place these warehouses, the local leaders remain cautious considering their experiences with DHS under Noem.
“Until DHS/ICE proves me wrong, I will work under the notion that their past behavior is an indication of their future performance,” said B.R. White, the city manager of Oakwood, Georgia, where DHS had planned to build a sprawling detention facility with little notice and no public hearings.
“I do desire to be proven wrong,” White added. “Just maybe the new DHS Secretary will logically discover the same flaws and issues with the program as the communities impacted by DHS purchases and proposed purchases.”
Mullin is also weighing further rule changes related to how ICE operates — a key sticking point as the funding standoff embroiling his agency nears its 50th day, one source familiar with the discussions told CNN.

‘Review everything’
Taken together, these changes signify a broader effort from Mullin to pull back on some of Noem’s policies and rebuild trust with the public and key allies on the Hill, who under Noem’s tenure often felt in the dark on major developments happening in their own backyard and concerned about her priorities.
Republicans hope that they will find a more willing and accessible partner in Mullin, a former senator, to enter a new era of immigration enforcement that creates less controversy.
Some Republicans are pushing Mullin not to take a piecemeal approach and instead revisit everything Noem touched. They want a course correction to refocus the agency to only go after violent criminals and those with active deportation orders as the party has faced backlash against its sweeping crackdown on unauthorized immigration under Noem.
“Review everything that was being done under Secretary Noem” GOP Rep. Carlos Gimenez, who serves on the House committee that oversees DHS, told CNN about his message to Mullin. “I think a lot of things need to change and hopefully he will be the agent of change.”
GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, who leads a bipartisan caucus of moderate House members, introduced a bill on Thursday with Democratic Rep. Thomas Suozzi to significantly change how the administration conducts removal operations, including mandating agents to remove their masks in most cases and requiring judicial warrants for criminal arrests— adopting some of the reforms that Democrats have been pushing for in negotiations over DHS funding.

Fitzpatrick, a former FBI agent who worked with Mullin when he was in the House, told CNN that he supports strong border security, but believes there has been an “over enforcement” of immigration laws in the US and wants Mullin to approach the job with more empathy and compassion.
“What has been lacking in immigration enforcement in recent months is empathy. And I think we need to approach the job with empathy. These are human beings, regardless of how you view immigration, we always need to treat human beings like human beings,” Fitzpatrick told CNN.
Fitzpatrick has discussed his bill with GOP Sen. Susan Collins, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee and has been critical to DHS negotiations, but the path to this bill’s passage remains unclear.
Even before Mullin took over, President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan had begun enacting changes to ICE amid the fallout of federal officers killing protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
Upon arriving in that city, and replacing Greg Bovino, a controversial Border Patrol official whose tactics were widely blamed for ratcheting up tensions between federal officers and protesters, Homan ended roving patrols of agents and deployed body cameras for all ICE officers while working with local leaders to smooth tensions before pulling back on the agency’s foothold in the city.
Unlike Noem, Mullin has quickly formed a close relationship with Homan.
