00:49including as director of FBI's Terrorist Screening Center and assistant director to the National Security Branch.

00:53Prior to joining the Bureau, Mr. Klushin served in the U.S. Marine Corps.

00:58I thank all the witnesses for being here today.

01:02I now recognize Secretary Noem for five minutes to summarize her opening statement.

01:06Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, Ranking Member, for holding this hearing today and inviting me to be a part of it.

01:14I'm looking forward to discussing the worldwide threats that this country faces

01:18and the work that President Trump and his administration does each and every day to make America safe again.

01:23I'm very privileged and honored today to have my family with me.

01:27I'd like to introduce them to you.

01:32Disruptions of congressional business is a violation of law as a criminal offense under federal law.

01:38Audience members are advised to take their seats and maintain order.

01:56Get ice off our streets. Stop terrorizing your community.

02:05Secretary, make it.

02:06I'll continue.

02:08Today with me, I have my husband, Brian, who's with me, and also two of my children.

02:12My oldest daughter, Cassidy, and her husband, Kyle, are sitting here in the front row.

02:17And then my middle child, Kennedy, and her husband, Tanner, and that was my grandbaby, Noah,

02:22that was crying a little bit during the ranking member's comments.

02:25I don't think she agreed with him.

02:27I don't have my son with me or three of my grandchildren,

02:30but I'm very blessed that I have a wonderful family who is here and loves this country

02:34and is grateful for the work that we get to do as a family each and every day.

02:37We also have the blessing of having some angel families with us as well.

02:42They are here in the audience, and I'm so grateful for them for being willing to come here and be strong.

02:47It's hard to lose someone that you dearly love to illegal criminal activity,

02:52to people who never should have been in our country to begin with,

02:54and to lose those loved ones to drug overdoses that get perpetuated by the terrorist organizations

03:00that filter them into our country that President Trump works so hard to stop.

03:04So I'm grateful that they're here and that they are telling their story.

03:08Under President Biden, he closed the office in the Department of Homeland Security that serviced these families.

03:14He closed it because he didn't want them to speak.

03:16He didn't want them to have support or services,

03:18and President Trump reopened the Voices office so that they can get services,

03:23so they can hear about the cases of the individuals who killed their family members,

03:27and they can get the kind of help that they need to get through the tragic grief that they've experienced.

03:32So I want to thank them for being here and continue to pray for them.

03:35I want to thank you for the opportunity to be in front of you today to discuss the wide range of threats

03:40that the Department of Homeland Security is working on to protect us from here at home and also around the world.

03:46Just two weeks ago, the day before Thanksgiving, a terrorist shot two of our National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C.,

03:53killing Sarah Beckstrom dead and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe is still fighting for his life.

03:58Fortunately, we've had some really good news about Andrew recently,

04:01and he had the opportunity to stand up and is a miracle,

04:05and we're so grateful for his family for being so strong.

04:08We continue to lift him up and pray he has a full recovery.

04:11The terrorist who shot them was an Afghan national who entered the United States under Operation Allies Welcome.

04:18The same week, we arrested another Afghan national who came in under the same program.

04:23He was planning to carry out a bombing in Fort Worth, Texas.

04:26And just last week, just miles away in Washington, D.C.,

04:29we arrested another Afghan national who also came in under Operation Allies Welcome.

04:34That individual provided support to the Islamic State of Iraq and ISIS-K

04:39and weapons to his father, who was a commander of a militia group in Afghanistan.

04:44Those are only a handful of the challenges that we face

04:47and the threats that the Department of Homeland Security stands against every single day.

04:52Under President Trump's leadership, DHS is securing our borders,

04:56we're restoring the rule of law, and we're protecting the homeland.

04:59DHS is eradicating transnational organized crime

05:02and the stopping of deadly drugs from continuing to be funneled into our communities.

05:07We're ending illegal immigration, returning sanity back to our immigration system,

05:11and we're defending against cyber attacks against our critical infrastructure.

05:15We have sent a strong message to criminal illegal aliens

05:19that we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you.
