Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

Today I had the opportunity to introduce myself to new colleagues and visit with many familiar faces in a department-wide town hall event. @DHSgov is laser-focused on all of our critical mission sets & I look forward to working with all the men and women of the Department. https://t.co/PrTPk64NR3 — PolitiTweet.org

I have agreed to stay on as Secretary through Wednesday, April 10th to assist with an orderly transition and ensure that key DHS missions are not impacted. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

Our missions as a Department are vast and have never been more vital. You are in the arena- keep up the good fight. Thank you for your sacrifices and those of your families. God bless you and God bless our great country. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

To the brave and dedicated men and women of @DHSgov, I submitted my resignation to the President this evening. I am eternally grateful and proud of what you do each and everyday to protect our homeland- each of you are why I came back to serve my country. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

Its been an honor of a lifetime to serve with the brave men and women of @DHSgov. I could not be prouder of and more humbled by their service, dedication, and commitment to keep our country safe from all threats and hazards. https://t.co/lIQ5iqGDmF — PolitiTweet.org

This afternoon I submitted my resignation to @POTUS and thanked him for the opportunity to serve in his administration. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

I could not be more proud of the men & women of @CBPWestTexas and those in El Paso. Despite extraordinary strain from this emergency, they remain focused on the mission of securing our borders, and they are upholding American values through a compassionate, humanitarian response. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

The Paso del Norte Port of Entry and facilities of @CBPWestTexas in the El Paso Sector have far exceeded their capacity—like nearly every other key location along the Southwest Border. @DHSgov MUST receive additional authorities and resources from Congress to end this emergency. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

Our emergency response requires more than just “whole of government” action—we need a “whole of society” approach to fixing this catastrophe. @DHSgov is surging all available resources to the border and treating the emergency situation like we would a major natural disaster. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

@fema ...You have supported response & recovery from thousands & thousands of major disasters nationwide— helping Americans get back on their feet. It’s been an honor to work alongside you as we build a culture of resilience against the inevitable impacts of future disasters. #FEMA40 — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

Thank you to the men & women of @fema for your 40 years of dedication to our nation & disaster response. This includes more than $50 billion disbursed to disaster survivors for immediate needs & more than $100 billion in grants to help rebuild communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

What began as a smoldering crisis has ignited into a full-blown border emergency. Where Congress has failed to act, @POTUS and I continue to act within our authority to secure our borders, support our officers & avert an even worse humanitarian catastrophe. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

Not only do we need Congress to act, we need any nation that is a source or transit country for illegal migration to act—and FAST. @POTUS has sent a clear message to these governments: “time’s up.” @DHSgov will continue to work with them toward tangible results. https://t.co/kM07Ixn9L7 — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

Our system and facilities were never structured to withstand the current influx of immigrants. @DHSgov expects illegal migrant encounters at the border will reach nearly 100,000 in March. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

Our system is at a breaking point. Illegal migration has reached record levels while @DHSgov facilities & resources are maxed to capacity. I’ll be joining @TuckerCarlson at 8 o'clock this evening to discuss ways to address our system-wide border emergency. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

The only way to truly fix this border emergency is with emergency legislation. Misguided court decisions and outdated laws have created loopholes that are the main cause of today’s crisis. @DHSgov cannot travel this road alone—we need Congress to do its job so we can do ours. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

.@DHSgov is doing everything we can to fulfill our humanitarian & security mission, but we are past the “breaking point”—as @POTUS has said, our system is BROKEN. Our facilities are at peak capacity & our resources are maxed. — PolitiTweet.org

Acting Sec. Kevin McAleenan @DHSMcAleenan

I won’t sit idly by while American communities become collateral to Congress’ dysfunction. @DHSgov will immediately redeploy @CBP employees from across field operations & ports of entry to assist with our humanitarian & security response at our border. — PolitiTweet.org
