The threats to the U.S. homeland are never ceasing, and this Committee is working tirelessly to ensure the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is correctly mitigating these threats in order to accomplish its mission and providing transparency for the American people.

From firsthand testimony in hearings with those on the precipice of this crisis, including U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz, this committee has received confirmation that our nation is facing crises at our Southwest, Northern, and Maritime borders because of President Biden and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ refusal to enforce our nation’s laws. More than two decades after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Biden administration’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan has empowered foreign terrorist organizations like al Qaeda and ISIS, endangering our partners in the region and the homeland. As our adversaries grow more sophisticated in their approach, our nation also faces cyber threats from criminal actors and nation-state adversaries targeting both government and private entities as they work to undermine the U.S. and bring us to our knees. Lastly, the growing influence of the Chinese Communist Party in the U.S. and the Biden administration’s weakness on the world stage in response to this threat endangers the integrity of our critical infrastructure, the intellectual property of our private sector, and sensitive military intelligence.
