August 08, 2025 Casten: Kristi Noem Is Not Welcome In IL-06 Downers Grove, IL — U.S. Congressman Sean Casten (IL-06) released the following statement regarding Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s visit to Illinois’ 6th Congressional District: "Kristi Noem's racism and xenophobia have no place in Illinois’ 6th Congressional District. Her failures at the Department of Homeland Security harm American families and will have lasting, negative ripple effects on the American economy. The only reason she has her job is because she is so doggone terrified of anyone who does not look like her that she will eagerly forsake the Constitution anytime Donald Trump asks." ### Print Email Share Tweet
