Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin vowed Wednesday that deportations of illegal migrants will continue, despite a Democratic victory on election night Tuesday.

Mullin made the comment in a three-word social media post, which reads that the "deportations will continue."

The comment comes after Democrats won control of both chambers and House Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member Bennie Thompson, who is seeking the chairman post next year, said he would use his power to compel Trump administration officials to testify in front of the panel.

Democrats hoping to use their power to pass meaningful legislation to curtail the power of Immigration and Customs Enforcement or potentially withhold future funding for the agency are expected to see opposition from the White House and a potential veto from the president.

Some Democrats, including Illinois Democratic Rep. Delia Ramirez, have proposed overhauling U.S. immigration agencies and replace them with community-centered departments and agencies, according to The Hill.

The White House has said that there have been more than 605,000 deportations of illegal migrants under the second Trump administration so far and another 1.9 million illegal migrants have self-deported.
