so both democrats and republicans have historically agreed that you cannot homeland security unless, ou have border security and enforce the immigration laws of this country. let's look the consequences here since the biden administration's tenure in office and again i'm going to throw out some here. let's keep in mind, there's no way to many of these numbers that i'm talking about. we seen over the last four years anywhere from. 10 to 15 million and illegal encountered at our borders. that does not include the 2 million plus gateways where they are not encountered and taken into custody in some way, shape or form. then there's a third bucket that never gets spoken about, and that's those that completely undetected. they're not apprehended. nobody from customs and, border protection or ice is in a to lay eyes on them. and we have no idea what those numbers are. also, keep in mind that under the biden administration, john, we were looking at a deportation rate of less than 10%. that is absent lutely mind boggling when you think about the. we have no idea who's in our country right now.

homeland security. because the coast guard patrols these critical waterways, we must evaluate whether they have the resources and the authority needed to effectively address these threats. for dr. kardon, how does the p.r.c.'s expanding influence over global shipping routes and strategic ports including in latin america and the caribbean impact u.s. homeland security and the coast guard's ability to police illicit trade and trafficking? dr. kardon: thank you, congresswoman biggs. i believe that the extraordinary market share of chinese firms and global shipping and across all the verticals, shipbuilding prominently, important investments. shipping itself, containers, leasing, etc. gives china strategic advantage in the modern economic system. we heard the sir walter raleigh quote. that resonates with leaders in beijing. i for one have studied a lot of chinese strategists writings about the famous american naval strategist, and leading influence in understanding sea power is broader than naval capability

in february 2002, at a meeting with the press defending new hires in homeland security, mcgreevey saidot skimp on security," and he added that golan cipel was, "a security advisor from the israeli defense forces, probably the best in the world. not probably. they do the best in the world." you still think he was qualified for that job? he was--he wasn't home-- by the way... [stammers] he wasn't homeland security advisor. no, the homeland security advisor-- -he was a counselor to you... -counselor, yeah. ...and it was one of the things in his... yeah, that was in his portfolio. homeland security advisor, had 20 years in the fbi. -but i mean, so--but he-- -you think there's something about being an israeli that does give somebody-- yeah, but should he been in-- should he at all been in that portfolio of answers? no. -clearly and unequivocally. -but you brought him up. you brought him up in that meeting. you didn't bring up the fbi guy. -yep, yep. -you brought up golan. yep. i wasn't--i wasn't with the fbi guy. did you want to be outed? did you want to be discovered? yeah. you--you--it's

there are many, many areas we need to stay very focused on, working with the department of homeland security, working with the f.b.i. to ensure we're keeping the american people safe. our counter terrorism center is working on making sure we have that single source for vetting so we can figure out who is in our country and identify those who pose a threat and get them removed. the president's designation of cartels as foreign organizations fall directly into this especially as we're seeing the tactics these cartels are using reflect some of the tactics we've seen used by islamist terrorists in countries that many of us have served in overseas. our mission is very clear, our objective is to keep the american people safe. i'm grateful to be a part of this team that president trump has assembled to accomplish that mission. thank you. vice president vance: before i take questions, let me say two final things. first of all, the reason why we've seen, as pete said, a 98% drop in crossings and it's gone to 30 crossings a day because president trump empowered and demanded that his whole government t

we asked department of homeland security spokesperson tricia mclaughlin about it. promised during the campaign that millions would be deported, something like 50 million. when you divide that, it should come down to 300,000 or more people should be being deported 55,000 is a lot less. >> i don't think that the first month is going to be the status quo. >> reporter: in the first week of the administration, we saw these massive raids. we saw secretary noem out there. there was this massive show of force. have the raids been reduced? >> these i.c.e. raids as they are often called are very tactical, and they are very targeted. that's why we say it is the worst of the worst. we follow where the individuals are, the low-hanging fruit, so to speak, and i think that they are going to evolve. >> reporter: once you get past the people who have a criminal record, what options do undocumented people have if they want to make a case for staying in this country, working in this country, contributing? >> i think that the best message is that they should self-deport and leave now

there are many areas we have to say very focused on, working with the department of homeland securityake sure we're keeping the american people safe. i would counterterrorism center is working to make sure we have that single source for vetting so we can figure out who is in our country and identify those who pose a threat and get them removed. the president's designation of the cartels as a terrorist organization, especially as we see the tactics these cartels are using, reflects the tactics we have seen used by islamist terrorists and countries many of us have served in overseas. our mission is clear, our objective is to make keep the american people safe. i'm grateful to be a part of this team that was assembled to accomplish this mission. thank you. >> it before i take question, two final things, the reason we have seen 98% reduction in border crossings, the reason why this side went from over 1500 crossings per day now 30 crossings per day, is because president trump he empowered and in fact demanded his whole government take the task of border control seriously. that is exactly

and so the department of homeland security says that its employees must comply. but they say that because of their national security responsibilities, it will stay internal. now, contrast that with what we heard from health and human services the first time this email came out from opm. and they said, the health and human services says that assume what you write will be read by foreign actors. how can homeland security say, oh, we're safe. it will stay in house. and hhs says somebody who wants to hurt us is going to read this. just write that accordingly. >> are you asking me to to to determine whether there's a consistent message coming out of doge? the answer is no. i mean, it is, you know, you can't you can't square it because it's so random off the cuff through tweets, emails sent on weekends for monday deadlines. i mean, none of it. none of it is how a stable government, uh, and its workforce ought to behave or be subject to. you know, i know people will get into the debate whether what doge is doing is, is, is going to make us more efficient and undermine it

troy edgar, who's been nominated to serve as the epi-secretary department of homeland security. if confirmed he will take on the role of deputy secretary, serving as the department's chief operating officer. ds -- dhs is a massive agency employing 260,000 people across more than 20 components. having previously served as dhs chief financial officer he has firsthand knowledge of where the department can make cuts and streamline operations. second we have represented of dan bishop nominated to be deputy director of omb. omb is mostly the bulwark against overspending. we rely on omb to scrutinize agencies budgets and identify redundancies. it is omb's job to ensure federal agencies are not rubberstamping costly new programs subsidized by the american taxpayer. if confirmed, representative bishop will have a front row seat to the entire federal budget process and a chance to say no as agencies continue to demand endless expansions of authority and unchecked spending. both of these nominees have come forward at a time when americans are fed up with government overreach and runaway de

you've got the bloomberg now saying that the department of homeland security has eliminated policiesthe investigation of individuals or groups solely based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. and you can see where this is going. i mean, this is not going to just start with the legislators or maybe a fringe piece of legislation to score some political points with a constituency or two. it's actually now having real life consequences on americans who are serving in our government, whether it be the military or homeland security or anywhere else. >> that's right. i mean, it is even gotten to the point where you can't even use the word transgender in the united states government. you can't say it. it cannot be in any official document, for example. and the erasure is real. i mean, the attempts to remove any data in the united states government that said anything about trans people. i mean, this is this is erasure. saying that trans people don't have to have equal access to housing, for example. the same is true for education. taking away passports from trans people, rendering

according to homeland security, border encounters have decreased 66% in january of 2025 compared to januaryf any policy. it's because of him. they know he will enforce the law. it is that straightforward. all you have to do is make it very clear. if you come here illegally, we will send you back. >> trump also following through on his promise to end diversity, equity and inclusion programs, signing what critics say are anti-trans executive orders. >> trump knows something about his base. they want to win the culture war, right? di transgender issues. all the woke issues, so-called. and the more he does that, the more they will give him slack on the other stuff. >> president trump has pledged to put america first, even if that means upending global alliances like supporting the war effort in ukraine, as evidenced in the testy oval office exchange. >> you're gambling with world war three. >> trump is totally realigning the world order right now. and if you need proof of that, look no further than what he's doing right now with ukraine. i mean, we go to this oval office meeting just a couple o

so which is a branch of homeland security had a law in place of executive order by biden, that it was illegal for americans to work for r t e. and put that in, in like october of this year, right before he left office. so bite, i mean by the left, you know, this kind of censorship, sort of legacy. but, and now trump is undoing that. he's unraveling that. so i think r t will be part of what is unravel. you'll unravel those sanctions. i know that they're talking about the white house press corps having, you know, more independent international press. wouldn't it be wonderful? the c r t at the white house press corps and be able to participate and give a balance of views. you know, it's an award winning station with award winning documentary. so i, i need, i know that donald trump knows that. so i think it's a matter of time. these reversals and lifting of sanctions may take, you know, a few months. but i think they're going to happen, you know, rather quickly as we move towards the spring and summer, me sounds good to me. i lost those, i think supposed to every speech as well. the democ

so i am hopeful that with new leadership at the department of homeland security, these unlawful work authorizations will no longer be approved. that leads me to calling on secretary noem to protect jobs, innovation and national security by terminating the cpt onned opt student work programs. in other words, stop the steal that benefits the communist party of china. i yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the clerk: ms. brooks. -- ms. alsobrooks. and it is unfolding in real time with real-life impact on our veterans. not only is he firing veterans 2400 already terminated our veterans come one-third of them, but across agencies in the united states government where 30,000 members of the federal workforce have been indiscriminately terminated. 30% of them are veterans as well. almost 50% of everybody in the department of defense who has been fired, they are veterans. and they may be probationary employees promoted to a position where they are in probationary status because they've done such a great job, they

legal status based upon their cooperation with law enforcement according to the department of homeland security. is that correct? >> that is right. they work with law enforcement to stop and solve crimes. >> thank you. the question was immigrants without legal status can help stop crime. ischemic yes, that is correct. >> is it true that republicans are threatening to illegally strip cities of law enforcement grants intended for local policing and public safety if they do not go along with trump 's immigration agenda? >> that is right. they want to redistribute the fiscal burdens onto the democratic cities and away from the republican ones. >> which brings me to my next point. do you believe president trump is organizing the department of justice against local governments like new york city? >> as i stated publicly -- thank you for the question, congresswoman. as i indicated previously, this case, i will allow the judicial process to go forward. >> let me ask it a different way he was getting advice. can i get a little bit of time. i did not interrupt while he was getting advice. >> go ahead. >>

the account that targeted my son that caused him to take his life was taken down online when homeland security reached out however they left the additional account up. if i send a friend request, i can choose this account, yet they left the other accounts up and other accounts began to extorted my 14-year-old, my 16-year-old son who just lost his brother and myself as well, did i tell you that your son begged for his life. from that day alford i have made it my life's mission, politics or not, to fight to protect children online. since december of 2022 whenever i took office, we passed gavin's law in south carolina which criminalized sextortion and the first person we convicted was under an ai photograph. i have helped thousands of children since then. matter of fact i have dealt with three in the past 48 hours families that are being extorted in these situations and i worked with groups here on the hill. i have showed up with parents and unfortunately the amount of parents that are losing children are growing detail. since my son took his life, there have been 40 other teens that are public a

he said the department of homeland security needs backup in eastman tire and we need to finish the wall. manpower, technology, the wall. they are essential for full border security. that's why two weeks ago mr. president u.n. by another members and their colleagues on the republican side are passed a budget that increases funding for border security. senate republicans voted for more border agents more detention more deportation flights. the clerk: mr. peters, no. the clerk: mr. reed, no. the clerk: mr. blumenthal, no. we no they are not for that agenda and what they are missing mr. president is the american people are for president trump's agenda. they want to see the border security secured him a one inflation to come down. they want crime in the city to be dealt with. they want our standing in the world to be returned. they support president trump. and we know that when president trump returns to the oval office he was given a power full mandate from the american people and he deserved to have his agenda shaped government but we know there is little time left and so we begin to hear

my contingenty account and homeland security's fund and authority to borrow from the legislation stabilization account, if memory isn't fresh enough just look to los angeles to see how rapidly fire expands in dry times and the catastrophe that insufficient infrastructure can lead to. in the midst of last summer's overwhelming fire season, kelly norris rose to meet the challenge in her second year as state forester. recognize that kelly does not have a specialized firefighting staff, she and her staff have full-time jobs managing our state's forest lands and protecting our forestry. in addition to her day job, kelly coordinated local firefighters and supplied assets as available and kept track of funds and that's the job that's not quite finished. if kelly hadn't made herself available this past summer we would have had a much worse summer. as i mentioned relies on local and county firefighters on equipment. we coordinate with teams and forest service personnel depending on fire and location. joining kelly is chad cooper, sublet county fire warden and president of the wyoming fire board and hel

. ♪ ♪ jon: homeland security secretary kristi noem says illegal border crossings last month were the ration says it's because of the president's crackdown on border security, and it's not resting on those laurels. the pentagon ordering up to 3,000 more troops to help secure the southern border. our c.b. cotton is live with more on that. c.b. >> reporter: hi, jon. yeah, during the biden administration it was widely reported border patrol agents would sometimes arrest 10,000 people in a single ca day for illegally crossing the border. immigration then became a key issue for voters during the 2024 election, and now the trump administration is announcing there were only 8300 people caught illegally crossing for the entire month of february. dh, secretary kristi noem writing today on, and, quote, february was the lowest month in recorded history for encounters at our border. the world is hearing our message. do not come the our country illegally. if you do, we will find you, arrest you and send you back. president trump has taken a series of executive actions on the border since returning

his department of homeland security created the cpb1 act, an app for your phone which allowed migrants to literally schedule a visit to a port of entry so they could claim asylum and enter the country. another biden-harris allowed cuba, haiti, and nicaragua and venezuela to enter. that was 360,000 migrants who were basically told if you come, you can stay in the united states, but they were conferred a temporary status that left them all in legal limbo. let's not forget the biden white house cooking the books on illegal immigration by abusing the parole system. parole is a word, people who are familiar with the criminal justice understand, but this is different in immigration terms parole means you were essentially released into the united states even if you didn't claim a right to be able to stay, for example, a right to asylum, you're just simply released as a border patrol measure to avoid bad publicity at the border when people were sleeping in the streets and lines were stacking up. we know what this looks like, a crisis of mass illegal immigration, human trafficking, drug traffic
