Congressman García’s Statement on Trump Firing DHS Secretary Noem

March 5, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04) issued the following statement on Trump firing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: “No matter who runs it, DHS is a rogue and lawless agency designed to trample on our civil rights. “My position remains the same: not another dollar for ICE and CBP, and DHS must be dismantled to end its reign of terror in our communities. “Kristi Noem’s tenure was defined by lawlessness, corruption, and cruelty. She deserved to be fired, but we still need accountability for crimes committed on her watch. “Nothing about Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s record suggests he will be different.” # # # Issues : Chicago Immigration Judiciary Issues/Oversight
