Every day TSA screens 2.5 million people and 4.6 million items at 430 airports. I joined TSA_Pekoske at TSA’s Annual Awards Ceremony to thank the workforce for all they do. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas & I are committed to ensuring TSA has the resources they need and fair pay they deserve.

Partnering with state, local, tribal, and territorial officials is crucial to meeting our shared security challenges. I met with the NGA Governors Homeland Security Advisors Executive Committee to discuss cooperation on information sharing, grant funding, & migration.

.Homeland Security earned an A+ on the SBA Small Business Scorecard, marking the 15th consecutive year of an A rating thanks to our #DHSWorkforce . America’s small businesses are critical to equipping our workforce with the tools we need to fulfill our mission & keep the homeland safe.

Fifty-five percent of the USCIS workforce is women—one of the highest representations from across the federal government. USCISDirector Jaddou says it’s because of the welcoming and inclusive culture we’ve built at USCIS & Homeland Security. #WomenofDHS

It was great to be with Jen Easterly🛡️ for Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Annual Awards Ceremony to say thanks to the workforce for all they do to protect American lives, livelihoods, and critical infrastructure and to recognize some of CISA’s emerging leaders. Congratulations to all the award winners!

When one person serves, their whole family serves. I joined the Office of Intelligence & Analysis workforce for Family Day to say thank you to the people who make our work possible. #WeAreDHS

In Las Vegas, I met so many inspiring NAWLEE and Homeland Security leaders. A heartfelt thank you to everyone I met for your dedication and commitment to keeping the American people safe. There is no limit to what we can accomplish when we work and rise together.

The TSA and DHS S&T Innovation Checkpoint at Harry Reid International Airport is testing technology, like self-service screening, that will revolutionize air travel. Investments in innovation like these are critical to building the most safe, efficient, and user-friendly airports possible.

In 2023, Harry Reid International Airport handled over 57 million passengers. I met with and thanked the local TSA and CBP workforce who made that possible – for all they do to keep travelers, their belongings, and the American public safe and on schedule.

I’m in Las Vegas for NAWLEE’s 28th Annual Conference and to meet with the local TSA and CBP workforce. America is safer when departments, squads, and task forces look more like the communities we protect and serve. #RisingTogether

Last year, TSA ensured the safety and security of nearly 850 million travelers. This success is because of team members like Lisa, who work tirelessly behind the scenes to help passengers, planes, and pilots stay safe and on time. #WorkforceWednesday

When U.S. Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle began her career, there weren’t many other women working in national security. That’s one reason why she is providing opportunities, mentoring, and coaching to others. #WomenofDHS

In Guaynabo, I held a Town Hall with over 250 team members from FEMA Region 2 – our first priority is supporting our #DHSworkforce and making sure they have what they need for #DHSMission success.
