Today in the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) questioned South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, President Trump’s nominee for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Senator Hawley emphasized several abuses and failures of the Biden-Mayorkas Administration’s DHS, which Governor Noem promised to correct.
“You already have, what I hope will soon be the distinction of succeeding the worst Secretary in the history of the Department of Homeland Security. Alejandro Mayorkas has been an absolute disgrace to that department, and frankly to this country,” said Senator Hawley.
Watch the full clip here.
Senator Hawley went on to detail some of the many abuses of Biden-Mayorkas DHS, including their retraction of the Remain in Mexico policy, the breakdown of our asylum and parole systems, the creation of a phony ‘Disinformation Board,’ an increase in migrant crime, and their failure to disclose pertinent information regarding the assassination attempts against President Trump.
Governor Noem committed to partnering with President Trump to fix these issues, and work to secure our country’s safety for all Americans.
