President Trump\u2019s Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is under heavy fire for reportedly cozying up to the American Business Immigration Coalition, a powerful lobby representing approximately 1,700 employers who rely on illegal alien labor.<\/p>\n

The controversy comes as some House Republicans are already under fire from conservatives for backing legislation critics say would amount to de facto amnesty for certain illegal alien farm workers, raising concerns among the MAGA base that Washington is beginning to soften on President Trump\u2019s mass deportation agenda.<\/p>\n

According to a report by The Washington Post,<\/a> DHS officials recently met with the American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC), a bipartisan organization that says it represents approximately 1,700 employers.<\/p>\n

The report also said DHS has held discussions with other business coalitions seeking regular dialogue over the impact of immigration enforcement on employers.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

\n

The Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Markwayne Mullin is cultivating a relationship with business groups whose concerns about losing workers to aggressive immigration enforcement had been rebuffed by former secretary Kristi L. Noem.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, DHS officials met at the agency\u2019s Washington headquarters with the Essential Worker Immigration Coalition, which represents the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and major trade associations that depend on immigrant labor, according to several people with knowledge of the meeting, which has not been previously reported.<\/p>\n

It was the first such meeting to be reported since President Donald Trump reentered the White House. Business groups say they have been trying to gain a foothold at the agency since Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests began to spike last year.<\/p>\n

Mullin did not attend the early July meeting \u2014 which included officials from ICE and Customs and Border Protection, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly \u2014 and the gathering did not produce an immediate change in policies. But two of the people said DHS officials said they want to meet regularly with the group to assess the impact of Trump\u2019s mass deportation campaign and business needs.<\/p>\n

[\u2026]<\/p>\n

A DHS spokesperson declined to comment on the meeting; coalition members declined to comment publicly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Conservative commentator Tomi Lahren didn\u2019t hold back, taking to X to rip into the reported meetings and call out sellout politicians pushing for covert amnesty schemes:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAgain, I am very concerned to hear that our new DHS secretary Markwayne is reportedly meeting with big labor groups who are afraid of losing their cheap illegal alien labor and meanwhile some republicans in congress are simultaneously pushing amnesty. WTF? I thought this administration stood for America first, and the American worker? As a Trump voter, I know I personally don\u2019t give one shit if big corps are pissy they risk losing their serf labor class to rightful deportations. This is downright infuriating.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Former Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino, who was called by Mullin as \u201cirrelevant,\u201d responded, \u201cThose\u00a0big labor groups working with deep state government end up screwing the taxpayer. Enough!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Those big labor groups working with deep state government end up screwing the taxpayer. Enough!!!!! @TomiLahren<\/a> they haven\u2019t yet got the message I guess!!!!!!! @BreannaMorello<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Gregory K Bovino (@GregoryKBovino) July 21, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The National Police Association responded to Lahren\u2019s comment, stating, \u201cHe met with the American Business Immigration Coalition, which represents approximately 1,700 employers of illegals. His job is to meet with the 1700 employers of illegals directly. And arrest them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Sadly, I don\u2019t think he plans to do that.<\/p>\n

You gotta hand it to Democrats, they opened the floodgates for the Third World by the millions and now we\u2019re supposed to be impressed with around 350,000 deportations. https:\/\/t.co\/zjsE2TyA4D<\/a><\/p>\n

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported,<\/a> this isn\u2019t the first time Secretary Mullin has found himself in hot water with the America First crowd. Just days ago, Mullin was scrambling for damage control after reports he went around President Trump to suspend certain ICE traffic stops.<\/p>\n
