Secretary Mullin Tours Olympic Training Facility and Visits ICE Office in Colorado
WASHINGTON – On Thursday, United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin visited a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Florence, Colorado, followed by a tour of the Olympic training facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
“Yesterday, I met with ICE personnel in Florence, Colorado who are working every day to remove the worst of the worst from that state. Meeting with these men and women who are on the frontlines across the country, I’m reminded of how they truly are the best of the best,” said Secretary Mullin. “I then had the privilege of touring the Olympic training facility in Colorado Springs and meeting with our world-class athletes. DHS just had enormous success in securing the FIFA World Cup earlier this summer, and now we’re ready to repeat that same success with the Olympics in 2028.”
