Markwayne Mullin, U.S. Senator representing Oklahoma and a member of the Republican Party, posted a series of messages on his social media accounts in early January 2026 highlighting support for law enforcement and federal agencies.
On January 8, 2026, Mullin wrote: “Death threats from the radical left are up 8,000%, yet ICE agents still show up to do a tough job— enforcing the law. I stand with @DHSgov. Every elected official should do the same. Loudly.”
The following day, on National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, Mullin posted: “Happy National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, America. Big wins in the ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill: $750 million for Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers. No tax on officer overtime pay. Empowers front-line officials with resources to secure the border. Funds”
Later that day, he added another message regarding legal consequences for obstructing federal law enforcement: “If you’re a law-abiding citizen who *doesn’t* assault police, you don’t need this reminder, but obstructing or threatening federal law enforcement is a felony under Title 18 U.S. Code. Act accordingly.”
Mullin’s recent posts reflect his ongoing advocacy for law enforcement and border security policies—areas he has prioritized during his tenure in Congress and as senator for Oklahoma since January 3, 2023.[1] Before joining the Senate, Mullin served ten years in the U.S. House of Representatives.[2] His legislative focus includes support for small businesses, rural development and tribal affairs,[3] as well as advancing agriculture and energy policies across Oklahoma.[4] Mullin also serves on several Senate committees related to armed services and appropriations.[5]
A lifelong Oklahoman who maintains his primary residence on his family ranch in Westville,[6] Mullin is also recognized as an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation[7] and is notable for being one of only two such citizens currently serving in the U.S. Senate.[8]
