My friend truly loves the people of Missouri and working hard for them everyday in Congress!

So thankful everyone is safe. 🙏 Guess the Coast Guard did need new planes.

Oh my goodness, what a special day. ❤️. Today the Trail of Governors Committee unveiled my official statue and portrait on the state capitol grounds - and my grandchildren did the honors. Everywhere I looked, there were people I loved who have stood by our family as we served the people of SD. Thank you Jesus for your faithfulness.

Oh but I am…And I love puppies ❤️. You…? …not so much.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the 8th Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. I want to thank President Trump for entrusting me to lead the department leading the fight to Make America Safe Again. In one year, the patriots at DHS delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., located 145,000 unaccompanied children, delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion, and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard. As Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas, I will build on the years of national security expertise I forged during my time as Secretary of Homeland Security, Governor of South Dakota, and Congresswoman on the House Armed Services Committee.

The courageous men and women of @USCG heroically rescued seven people and one dog during flash floods on Oahu, Hawaii, on Friday in a joint operation with @USNavy aircrews. Along with our @TSA agents and other furloughed employees, many of our Coast Guard personnel are working without pay during this THIRD government shutdown. Thank you to all our heroes across the nation who continue working tirelessly to protect our homeland. The Democrats must end this shutdown and reopen @DHSgov. news.uscg.mil/Press-Releases…

Ten straight months of ZERO illegal aliens released at the border. President Trump promised to secure the Border, and that is a promise we delivered. We have the most secure border in American history. Our borders are CLOSED to lawbreakers.

I am so grateful that the House Republicans passed Dalilah’s Law out of @TransportGOP Committee. What happened to Dalilah Coleman is a tragedy that could have been PREVENTED if California had not granted commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens who should have never been here in the first place. Under President Trump's leadership, we have worked to deliver justice for the families impacted by illegal alien crime and have ensured that the tragedies they endured will no longer continue.

My thoughts and prayers are with the White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles. She is the definition of strength and courage, and I am looking forward to a swift and smooth recovery for her.

It is high time for the Democrats to end the DHS shutdown. @TSA officers missed their most recent paycheck on Friday as a result of the Democrats’ DHS shutdown — for the THIRD time in nearly six months. As Americans across the nation face hours-long wait times at airports, Democrats continue to play political games while @TSA officers and travelers pay the highest price.

HSI is currently on the scene in Michigan with other federal agencies and local law enforcement, and we are closely monitoring the alleged shooter report and vehicle crash at the Temple Israel Synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan. @DHSgov will continue to monitor the situation on the ground.

Please join me in praying for the family of Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Tyler Jaggers. Tyler Jaggers, an aviation survival technician assigned to Air Station Astoria, Oregon, passed away yesterday, as a result of critical injuries sustained during a February 27 medical evacuation mission which was offshore from Cape Flattery, Washington.   Prior to Tyler Jaggers passing, surrounded by his parents, sister, fiance, friends, and @USCG temamates, Jaggers was meritoriously advanced to Petty Officer Second Class and awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross—one of the highest military awards for heroism during aerial flight. We are grateful for his faithful service.

Thank you @POTUS Trump for appointing me as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. @SecRubio and @SecWar are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren. The Western Hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security. We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard.

Today's announcement is further proof that this is the most exciting time to join the Coast Guard in 235 years. Thanks to President Trump's visionary leadership and historic investment in the Coast Guard, the Service is shattering records across the board—including in recruitment. Last year’s recruitment exceeded 110% of active-duty enlisted goals, and the Coast Guard is on track to add 15,000 new members by 2028. This next generation of heroes deserves training centers and support facilities worthy of their mission, and that is exactly what they are going to have in Alabama.

This is our why. Thank you to the Angel Families who joined me over the last couple of days in the Senate and House Judiciary Committee hearings. Their strength inspires me to continue to fight for the scores of Americans who have lost their lives because of Biden's destructive open border policy. This administration will always put the safety of Americans first.

The families who have lost their children, brothers, and sisters to dangerous individuals who entered this country illegally and committed violent crimes against them deserve to be heard. I do this work every single day because someone has to do the right thing: tell their stories, defend these families, and ensure their loved ones are never forgotten. Weston Fundner. Megan Bos. Carlos Wolff. Sander Cohen. Ryan Long. Drew Swan. Sydney Schergen. Jesse Byrd. Heaven Leigh Nelson. Dana and Ricky Keim. Austen Babcock. Michael Beaudin. Logan Harris. Leo Towe. Hailey King. Rain Reece. Wesley Greer. Chrishia Odette. We are still very blessed to have little Miss Dalilah Coleman with us.

The Democrat DHS Shutdown has Consequences for American Citizens and Hardworking Families Our Cybersecurity Agency (@CISAgov) has lost hundreds of workers who have been furloughed. We have training for weapons of mass destruction, for detecting bombs and terrorist activities across the country, many of whom work with our local law enforcement, who have been furloughed and are not on duty today. The Democrat Party is damaging families long-term to make a political point when it has no effect on what we are doing for immigration enforcement every single day, because that agency is funded.
