Oversight of the Department of Homeland Security

As Chairman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, I participated in a hearing focused on oversight of DHS agencies and the growing threats facing immigration officers. During the hearing, I called out the radical anti-ICE movement, sanctuary city policies, and the staggering surge in threats against federal law enforcement agents. 

ICE Director Lyons also testified that many of his agents are being threatened, doxxed, or harassed, and that there has been an over 8,000 percent increase in death threats. Extremist organizing efforts like "Defend the 612" have encouraged citizens to impede agents. I will continue to provide routine oversight to ensure that federal law enforcement officers are protected as they enforce the laws on the books. Read more on the hearing here.
