IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 5, 2026

Chairwoman Barela responds to KOAT on Kristi Noem firing:

"Because of President Trump's leadership, our border is more secure than ever, illegal immigration is down, law enforcement has been empowered, and our communities are safer. After all the threats our country faces, Democrats owe it to the American people to fund DHS and prioritize citizens. We thank Secretary Noem for her service and we look forward to Senator Markwayne Mullin leading the department."

- Chairwoman Barela
