“If you are a DACA that's compliant with your registration, meaning you haven't committed a crime, you, in fact, are registered, you're not priority of enforcement for ICE should the program end.”

“I worked at the crossroads of policy and operations. I kind of bring all that experience together because homeland security is a team sport, and I've played almost every role, every player, every team.”

“I think occasionally it's the presence - or increased presence - of federal law enforcement that can cause that fear.”

“We want to find a permanent solution to the DACA population, not a continual three-year renewal period.”

“Every day, we rely on a number of partnerships to help us accomplish our mission to secure our borders. State and local officials, interagency federal partners, Congress, and of course, our international partners. I have been with and will and continue to work with these partners.”

“It is my great honor to represent the men and women of DHS who work every day to enforce our laws and secure our nation.”
