the department of homeland security's trusted traveler programs are critical to the safe and secure free movement of people. however there are instances in which individuals are mistaken for people with the same or similar name who are otherwise -- or who otherwise find themselves in a position to lose their trusted traveler status based on a database error. for those unfortunate person, the pa process of getting their trusted traveler status reinstated involves timely, cumbersome hurdles. in these ince it's as, travelers lose valuable time off their trusted traveler period even though they spent hard-earned money to apply. this seeks to bring relief to the traveling public. the bill requires a comprehensive review by the government accountability office on existing d.h.s. processes related to trusting traveler processes and how they can improve access to having their trusted traveler status reinstayed when it's revoked in error. h.r. 473 directs the director of homeland security to review enrollment in the program for a period commensurate for the time they lost due to error in enrollme

the department of homeland security reached out to counterparts in the u.k. to offer assistance. layered approach where different agencies and different organizations share information and try to identify threats before they occur to try to gather as much intelligence and as much information as possible to be forewarned of those types of threats so ty can interfere before they occur. but as you might imagine, that is a massive undertaking. there are personal liberties and access to information restrictions against gathering information on american citizens that make it complicated as well . but all of these agencies work together collaboratively to try to identify threats and take action against them. host: for audiences that are not up to speed with the various security bodies in the united ates, could you explain to us the national guard. what level of training do they have and why are they called on at times like this compared to, say, the army? david: sure. in the u.s. military, we have the army, navy, marines, coast guard, air force, and now the space force some of you might

from a house homeland security subcommittee.s is an hour and 45 minutes. >>> the subcommittee is meeing for perspectives of unaccompanied children at the u.s./mexico border. the challenge posed is not new. unaccompanied children from mexico, central america and elsewhere have long sought refuge in the u.s. this is also not the first time we have seen increased numbers of unaccompanied children at our southern border. there were similar increases in 2014 and 2019. northern triangle countries suffer from unspeakable violence, corruption and poverty. last november, the region was hit by two devastaing hurricanes that destroyed homes and wiped out critical infrastructure, worsening the situation and prompting more desperate families and children to flee. my grant children are undertaking the arduous, dangerous journey because conditions at home are so dire. many hope to reunite with family living in the united states. like many of my colleagues, this breaks my heart, seeing them waiting to be reunited. the increased number of child

well, recently published department of homeland security data reveals a key truth. most won their cases. since 2013, 57% of unaccompanied children with completed court cases have been granted the right to stay. this vital fact underscores the dire conditions from which children are fleeing. that brings us to today. after the pandemic hit, the trump administration began expelling all migrants under a policy known as title 42. regardless of whether they were asylumseekers or unaccompanied children and even if they had tested negative for covid-19, cbp expelled them to mexico or deported them to their home countries alone. despite title 42, the number of people coming to the border has been rising steadily since last spring. by september of last year, border apprehensions were already at levels not seen in 15 years, driven primarily by large numbers of single adults being apprehended and expelled multiple times, as well as people's inability to obtain safety while waiting at the border. the number of unaccompanied children also kept rising. in total, nearly 16,000 unac

and why did homeland security delete the press release?me of these facilities, they don't want to talk about people being ab rehended -- apprehended that are on the terrorist watch list on the no-fly list. they don't want folks to know about what's going on down there because they know it is the an absolute crisis, and it is stemmed directly from the policies that president biden reversed of president trump. and then when he handed off the border issue to kamala harris, who when asked if she was going to come down there, she simply just laughed. cackling kamala. we've got 17, 18,000 kids formerly known as cages in these detention centers, and they need to reimplement title 42 or at least do it a lot more than they are, migrant protection protocols. all of these things and, quite frankly also, ask gao to investigate a possible violation of president biden about the control act. he needs to be building this wall. elizabeth: let me back up, why are you and taxpayers being kept in the dark? we don't know exactly how many illegals are crossing

department of homeland security did a. routine threat assessment and in that threat assessment from from this past october. the homeland security noted that the most persistent lethal and and most anticipated threat is domestic violence extremists or the message terrorists. we won't likely see a large gathering like we saw on january 6th but in that in that threat assessment report they note that lone wolf or lone offender attacks like the one we just saw or small group attacks are most most likely in the most persistent persistent threat so i think we don't know clearly the motives of this individual but. this kind of threat and risk is is what the u.s. department of homeland security has been anticipating for a while the indication from the conference earlier on was it was probably not related to terrorism and that the suspect might not have been on the radar of security agencies what are your thoughts on that. it's obviously too soon to tell i think it's possible this could be a case of a person with significant mental

security story. liz cheney sees the republicans, it would appear, as part of the problem when it comes to homeland and very, very, very beginning, and i think what we're seeing here between the mccarthys of the party and the liz cheneys of the party is that they are both making completely different political calculations. he is making one that if they do take back the house in 2022, he's very likely to be speaker of the house, and so he has to go all in on the kinds of things that are about trumpism, right? it's not just that he has to hug president trump, he has to hug trumpism. that's the politics of content, never backing down, supporting people who may have bad ideas and ideas that he may not even agree with personally for what he sees as kind of the survival of the party. liz cheney doesn't see it that way, right? she is seeing it as it had nothing to do with antifa, it had nothing to do with anti-racism protesters, so why would we be looking into that? i think what we're going to continue to see and what is probably bad news for liz cheney is that she seems to be in the minority here, right? the

white supremacying and now with several members of his cabinet, including the department of homeland security, may oreca, we have fully robust conversation on white nationalists, terrorism. so, i would hope that type of discourse moves more towards the public sphere as well and shapes or current understanding of what terrorism is. and along cede that, too -- alongside that, too i think about it just seems perhaps -- just seems perhaps that we moved on post 9/11 to the post 1-6 paradigm and we really have to consider, though, that we really do need to break down the understanding and dismantle, i think, the idea that muslim americans and muslims around the world or also involved with terrorism, whereas -- i don't think we can physically address white nationallest terrorism until we can understand the dynamics and dismantle the linkagees between muslims around the world and terrorism. to has to be a dual program going on there in order to fully address chit i discuss in the book. >> thank you for that. what do you think explains the islamophobia that drives much of the current counterterrorism
