Among policies he refused to endorse was keeping immigration agents away from polling stations, where some Trump allies have said they should be deployed, prompting fears that they will scare off voters in the November elections. Mullin did, however, affirm that immigration agents would not enter homes or businesses unless they had a judicial warrant signed by a judge.
