Dear DHS Employees,
Today, I was honored to be sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as the United States Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. It is a privilege to be entrusted by President Trump to carry out this critical mission.
As the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, I will work to keep the more than 330 million American citizens safe and secure in our great nation. I look forward to working with the DHS workforce to advance our essential missions from enforcing immigration laws, securing our border, and safeguarding US cyber infrastructure to protecting America’s leaders and deterring terrorism.
We will deliver rapid relief to Americans in the face of natural disasters, empower our brave men and women in law enforcement to do their jobs and remove criminal aliens and illegal gangs from our country. We will fully equip our intelligence and law enforcement to detect and prevent terror threats of all facets.
Together, we will keep our homeland safe and secure.
I am committed to working with the dedicated men and women of DHS to fulfill our mission of safeguarding the American people, our homeland, and our values. Together, we can ensure that the United States remains a beacon of freedom, safety, and security for generations to come.
I look forward to working alongside you.
Kristi Noem
Secretary of Homeland Security
