Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem spoke in Detroit over the weekend, discussing how the Trump administration is working to secure America’s northern border with Canada.
Noem said that steps have already been taken toward that goal, but that much more still needs to be done.
“It has to be all hands on deck,” Noem said. “We’ve got more resources here than we ever have before, and more is coming.”
Noem spoke at a roundtable hosted by America’s Future Tour, a project of Building America’s Future. The U.S.-Canada partnership, impacts on the tribal communities on the border, and struggles for local law enforcement were all touched during the roundtable.
U.S. Rep. John James, R-MI, joined Noem and other border security and law enforcement advocates at the event. James called illegal immigration and drug trafficking a “crisis,” both for Michigan and other northern border states.
“Michigan is at the forefront. We are the epicenter of the northern border crisis,” James said. “We have a vital opportunity to secure our border and no one is doing a better job than President Donald J. Trump.”
