House Homeland GOP

Securing the homeland is an American imperative. As we begin our nation’s 250th year and approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we recommit ourselves to building a homeland that is safer, stronger, and better prepared for the threats of tomorrow.

TSA officers, Coast Guardsmen, & frontline heroes deserve to be paid for their work. Families shouldn’t go without because Democrats want to play political games. We need to reopen DHS and give certainty to those working on the frontlines to keep us safe. nationalreview.com/corner/dhs-emp…

.@PressSec is exactly right. Because of @POTUS, TSA agents are getting paid. But let’s be clear—that’s a temporary fix, not a solution. @HouseGOP has done our job. We’ve voted FOUR times to fully fund and reopen DHS. FOUR TIMES. Meanwhile Democrats would rather let Americans suffer. This is unacceptable.

Generative AI is being used to radicalize suspected terrorists around the globe at an alarming rate. That's why I sent a letter to the GAO asking them to assess this threat and develop a strategy to combat it. Watch my interview with @OANN on the letter here:

DHS has remained shut down for over six weeks, and @HouseGOP has voted four times to fully fund @DHSgov. Frontline workers shouldn’t have to pay the cost of the Democrats' political games.

🚨While the Democrats refuse to fund our national security, President Trump is delivering relief to TSA workers and travelers. Democrats must end their shutdown and reopen DHS today. Security isn’t a political pawn!

Great visit with @ThorntonPolice. As a former cop, I know how critical it is to have the right tools to solve crimes quickly and keep communities safe. That’s why I was proud to secure $420,000 for crime lab upgrades — a direct investment in modernizing public safety and supporting our officers on the ground.

.@PressSec is spot on. Congressional Democrats can do the right thing and end the @DHSgov shutdown today. It's truly unconscionable to put dedicated federal employees and American air travelers through this mess.

✔️ Paychecks for all personnel ✔️ Borders protected ✔️ Airports monitored ✔️ Shores guarded Once again, @HouseGOP backed comprehensive funding for our national security. It's evident where the House stands: with the American people. bit.ly/3PzOGNC

The tragic murder of Sheridan Gorman by an illegal alien released into the country under the Biden-Harris administration was preventable. Open-border and sanctuary city policies have a devastating cost, and this loss is one more reason why Congress must support the dedicated @DHSgov law enforcement who work to keep criminals like this off our streets. foxnews.com/us/slain-colle…

“It is dangerous for Democrats to keep weakening our national security posture for their own political gain, especially amid a heightened threat environment.” Last week, @RepVinceFong spoke on the House floor to set the record straight on why @HouseGOP continues to vote for full @DHSgov funding as the Democrat shutdown continues 👇

Democrats want to defund law enforcement. But don't take my word for it, hear it directly from them. It's tough to negotiate a DHS funding agreement when radical Democrats want to dismantle and abolish the very agencies within it.

WATCH: @repgabeevans calls out Democrats for refusing to fully fund DHS:   "In just six months, Democrats have shut down our government twice, and now they claim that shutting down DHS makes us safer. As someone who spent 12 years in the Army and another 10 years as a police officer, I know this is the furthest from the truth you can be. In fact, I left law enforcement and serve now in Congress because for years, Democrats pushed to defund the police. They championed defunding the police, knowing the consequences that it has on public safety. And today, that same pattern continues. This time, by defunding the Department of Homeland Security."

For the fourth time, House Republicans have voted to FULLY FUND America’s homeland security. The Senate can play games but House Republicans will NEVER sacrifice our nation’s homeland security.

If it matters to stop threats at the airport, it matters to stop them at our border. We need full security—not half measures. @HouseGOP is working toward extending @DHSgov funding for 8 weeks to keep operations running, pay our personnel, and get this done the right way.

As the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement, I want to highlight some of the dangerous individuals captured by the Department of Homeland Security. It is my goal to keep you updated on the great work our men and women in law enforcement are doing to keep our communities safe.

.@DHSgov was created in the wake of 9/11 to ensure our security agencies never again failed to coordinate and share critical information. That’s why I voted to fully fund every part of DHS tonight - to do anything less would dangerously degrade interagency coordination and put the security of our nation at risk. All personnel entrusted with protecting the lives of the American people must be given the resources they need to accomplish their interconnected missions to protect, defend, and secure the homeland. That includes our @ICEgov and @CBP officers who combat cross-border criminal activity, investigating the criminal enterprises that engage in narcotics smuggling, human trafficking, gang violence, child exploitation, money laundering and intellectual property theft. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. We simply cannot fragment funding for the agency entrusted with protecting the American people. I urge my colleagues across the aisle to come to their senses, fully fund the Department of Homeland Security, and allow the 260,000 Americans who work there to refocus on their no-fail mission of keeping our country safe.

I have voted FOUR TIMES to fully fund DHS. It’s time for the Senate to do its job.

Tonight, for the fourth time, I voted to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security. All the men and women of the DHS workforce deserve to be paid. This is not a game — our national security is at risk.

“Today's Arctic may remain a forum for great power competition for the foreseeable future, but we have a small window of opportunity to prevent it from becoming exploited and weaponized by bad actors.” Watch Subcommittee Chairman @RepPfluger's opening statement in this week's hearing on safeguarding U.S. interests in the Arctic region:
