WASHINGTON, D.C. –– Today, House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-TN) issued the following statement after President Donald Trump signed numerous executive orders relating to border security and enforcement:

“Nothing exemplifies a new day in America more than President Trump’s unwavering commitment to border security and restoring enforcement of our nation’s laws. By bolstering our border wall system, ending catch-and-release, and reinstating Remain in Mexico, we can immediately regain control of our borders from criminal cartels.

“Following four long years of historic chaos and dangerous threats from transnational criminal organizations, our Border Patrol agents, CBP officers, and ICE officers will once again have the tools they need to accomplish their essential, life-saving missions.

“Today’s executive orders signify a restoration of American sovereignty at our borders. With this strong foundation, the House Committee on Homeland Security will hit the ground running to work with the Trump administration and other Committees of jurisdiction to fulfill our commitments to public safety and the security of the homeland.”
