I am immensely proud of the men and women who work in the Office of Intelligence and Analysis.
Alejandro Mayorkas
The Public Record
Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas is an American lawyer and government official who has served as the Secretary of Homeland Security since February 2, 2021. He is notable for being the first Latino and immigrant to lead the Department of Homeland Security. Mayorkas has focused on various issues including immigration reform, cybersecurity, and disaster response during his tenure. His leadership has been marked by significant challenges, particularly regarding the U.S. immigration system and border security.
We've been very, very clear that there are lawful, safe, and orderly pathways to seek relief in the United States. And if one arrives at our southern border, one is going to face tougher consequences.
The smugglers propaganda is false. Let me be clear: Our border is not open and will not be open after May 11.
Oh, Chuck, 100%. Incredibly sharp, incredibly probing, incredible command of the details.
I will tell you that we have transnational criminal investigative units. Our Homeland Security investigation's personnel are in Mexico.
DHS is reviewing and needs to continue to review the Risk Rating 2.0, given the concerns that have been expressed.
I most certainly am, Senator, and I can assure you that FEMA is dedicated to achieving equity, speed, simplicity, accessibility in the care it provides.
There is no such thing as a small act of hate. When one group is targeted, we are all targeted.
I have tremendous admiration for the workforce of the Department of Homeland Security.
