Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem testified before a Senate panel Tuesday on her department’s budget request for fiscal year 2026, touting the work DHS has already accomplished under President Donald Trump while responding to questions on the budget and legal matters related to the detention and deportation of illegal aliens.
“Now, at the Department of Homeland Security, under President Trump, we’ve already delivered a drastic turnaround in homeland security, from the southern border to our Coast Guard to cyberspace, Noem said during her opening statement, adding, “and we’re just getting started.”
