Press Releases

Congressman Tim Kennedy (NY-26), a member of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the below statement today following the firing of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

“I have called for Kristi Noem’s resignation or impeachment for months. And while her firing is welcome news, the severe damage she caused is already done. Long before she was fired by President Trump, Kristi Noem trampled on our constitutional rights and civil liberties, established a culture of cruelty at DHS, and undermined our shared values. Though she is out of her job at DHS, she must still answer for her reckless actions to the American people. She, her successor, and the Trump Administration must be held accountable.”
