Senate Advances Markwayne Mullin for DHS Secretary
2026年3月22日，美國參議院在確認馬克韋恩·穆林（ㄇㄚˇ ㄎㄜˋ ㄨㄟㄣ ㄇㄨˋ ㄌㄧㄣˊ）參議員出任國土安全部（DHS）新任部長一事上，達成了一個重要里程碑。
On March 22, 2026, the U.S.
隨著結束辯論的投票以54比37通過，這名來自奧克拉荷馬州的共和黨人穆林似乎已邁向最終確認。
Senate reached a significant milestone in confirming Senator Markwayne Mullin as the new Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
在此之前，克里斯蒂·諾姆（ㄎㄜˋ ㄌㄧˇ ㄙ ㄉㄧˋ ㄋㄨㄛˋ ㄇㄨˇ）因遭到川普總統於3月初解職而引發爭議並離任。
With a 54–37 vote to end debate, Mullin, a Republican from Oklahoma, appears headed for a final confirmation.
國土安全部近期陷入困境，不僅面臨撥款僵局（ㄐㄧㄤ ㄐㄩˊ），其領導層亦受到公眾嚴厲檢視。
This follows the controversial departure of Kristi Noem, who was dismissed by President Trump earlier in March.
在聽證會期間，穆林面臨參議員蘭德·保羅（ㄌㄢˊ ㄉㄜˊ ㄅㄠˇ ㄌㄨㄛˊ）的嚴厲質詢，後者對穆林的脾氣以及過往針對政治暴力的言論表示擔憂。
The DHS has struggled recently, facing both a funding stalemate and intense public scrutiny regarding its leadership.
儘管遭到反對，穆林仍獲得其所屬黨派及兩名民主黨人約翰·費特曼（ㄩㄝ ㄏㄢˋ ㄈㄟˋ ㄊㄜˋ ㄇㄢˋ）和馬丁·海因里希（ㄇㄚˇ ㄉㄧㄥ ㄏㄞˇ ㄧㄣ ㄌㄧˇ ㄒㄧ）的支持。
During his hearings, Mullin faced tough questions from Senator Rand Paul, who raised concerns about Mullin's temperament and past comments regarding political violence.
若獲確認，穆林將達成一項歷史性成就，成為第二位擔任總統內閣職位的美國原住民。
Despite these objections, Mullin has received support from his party and two Democrats, John Fetterman and Martin Heinrich.
