A screenshot of an official letterhead document from the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), addressed to the leadership of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. The letter, signed by Paul A. Perez (National President), announces the NBPC's endorsement of Senator Markwayne Mullin as President Trump's nominee for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, and urges the committee to advance his nomination to the full Senate.
Text in image: NATIONAL BORDER PATROL COUNCIL PAUL A. PEREZ / President PROTECTING THOSE WHO PROTECT OUR BORDERS March 17, 2026 The Honorable Rand Paul Chairman Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs United States Senate 340 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Gary Peters Ranking Member Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs United States Senate 340 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Paul and Ranking Member Peters: The men and women of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) are excited to provide our support for President Donald J. Trump's nominee to be Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Senator Markwayne Mullin. We have no doubt that Senator Mullin is the right person to lead DHS and continue the Trump Administration's focus on keeping America safe. Thanks to President Trump's vision and leadership, we now have the most secure border in our lifetime and Border Patrol agents are again able to do the job of protecting our great nation. While much has been accomplished, there is still work to be done and Senator Mullin will ensure we never let our guard down. Threats emanating from overseas remain persistent and the cartels operating south of our border continue to try and smuggle narcotics, people and weapons across our borders. The brave men and women of the Border Patrol deter and stop these threats every day and we know Senator Mullin will have our backs as we execute our mission. Senator Mullin has spent valuable time on the ground at the border and met with frontline agents to understand our mission and challenges. We have gotten to know Senator Mullin and his no-nonsense leadership style means Border Patrol will remain focused on public safety and enforcing our nation's laws. In addition to his more than a decade of leadership and public service in Congress, Senator Mullin brings much needed private sector experience that will allow him to cut through bureaucratic red tape and ensure agents in the field have the resources and equipment we need to secure our borders. The NBPC is proud to endorse Senator Mullin to be the next DHS Secretary, and we urge the Committee to swiftly pass and move his nomination to the full Senate. Sincerely, Paul A. Perez National President

Text in image: Joe Kent ✓ @joekent16jan19 @realDonaldTrump We should not sit and wait for the next attack, wipe Iran's ballistic capability out and get our troops out of Iraq - they are only targets now. No US WIA/KIA is a tribute to the professionalism of our military and intel professionals not Iranian restraint. 7:38 AM · 1/8/20 X.com
