"The frequency and severity of disasters not just in Texas but all over the country is on the rise and increasing in severity. FEMA’s work helps communities affected by these disasters. The disaster relief fund provides the funding necessary to respond to disasters like in Texas and assist with the recovery process, including providing critical resources and supplies. FEMA plays a vital role in helping during our greatest time of need, before, during, and after disasters."
As the Federal agency charged with the enforcement of violations of customs and immigration laws, the breadth of the investigatory and operational work of ICE has a wide net including combatting transnational criminal organizations, illicit drug trafficking, human trafficking and smuggling networks, and violations of trade and intellectual property. I look forward to today’s discussion of the President’s Budget Request and how the proposal will better enable ICE to fulfill its critical national security mission.
"It is no secret that there will be large bills to pay in FY24, and while I am concerned that the Administration continued its strategy to assume budgetary offsets that have historically not been enacted by Congress, I look forward to working with you on ensuring DHS has the resources it needs to succeed in its vital mission of securing the nation from the many threats we face."
"We also understand that we want to talk to you a little bit more about the FY23 funding bill that supported TSA’s efforts to provide parity to TSA’s workforce, an effort to bring TSA employees on par with their peers in the rest of the Federal government. We do know that there is some work to be done legislatively."
"CISA plays a vital role in partnering with other federal agencies, state and local governments, and critical infrastructure owners and operators to protect against emerging and evolving threats."
