Hawley to Kristi: succeeding worst Secretary in history; Mayorkas 2021 to 2024: border is secure

On 1/17/2025, President Trump’s nominee for Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, sat before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. Governor Noem will follow Alejandro Mayorkas in this very important position. During her hearing on Friday, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) asked her about Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Senator Josh Hawley: “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… Is the southern border secure as we find it today?”

Kristi Noem: “The southern border is not secure today but in just three days, we will have a new President in this country, Donald J. Trump, and he will secure our border.”
