One of the tools, legal tools, that you have at your disposal is the use of expedited removal.

The Operation Stonegarden Program that we have is incredibly important tool that we have to help primarily our border communities enhance their capability and the cooperation amongst the agencies that are there.

Thank you again, and members.

we are here to talk about the budget but also glad that we are able to fully fund TSA's new pay structure for fiscal year 2024

TSA's mission, which is very focused. And simply, it is to prevent large scale acts of terrorism in the American transportation system.

FEMA's mission has always been to help solve some of our nation's toughest problems, regardless of the cause of those problems.

we certainly want to make sure that we all work together and increase in the cybersecurity posture and improving our risk management protocol.

There is a proposed amendment to the FAA administration reauthorization that would require TSA to provide secure escorts for individuals, Members of Congress.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Administrator, the Federal Air Marshals go down there, I think there is a call for a surge--I mean, you know, when there is a need for a surge, they are sent there voluntarily?

My understanding is there are about 75 air marshals down there at the border?

I just want to add, when I said CBP, I meant DHS custody, would mean CBP and, of course, ICE.
