CISA would, and I quote, 'lead Federal Government's civilian response to cyber threats against our Nation.'

I look forward to this hearing as an opportunity for bipartisanship, and hopefully we can all agree that there is a real issue here.

I appreciate Representatives Magaziner, Titus, D'Esposito, and Correa for the co-sponsorship of H.R. 895, the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act of 2023.

I want to commend the efforts made by Chairman Green and this committee in investigating Mayorkas' dereliction of duty.

Secretary Mayorkas has failed the American people. Keeping him in this role will continue to put Americans in danger.

Mayorkas' DHS operation has created transportation assistance for human trafficking and a massive new era of human slavery in America.

It is a lie to say fentanyl only comes through the ports of entry.

U.S. leadership is absolutely essential. We are here to provide that leadership.
