The Homeland Security Committee continues its efforts to shield the homeland and protect Americans right out of the gate in the 115th Congress.

On the heels of this package of bills approved by the House, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul issued the following statement praising the Committee's efforts in putting forth legislative solutions that better protect our homeland:

Chairman McCaul: "The 17 bills that passed the House today are all unified in their purpose to better protect our homeland and our people. These bills improve our border security, transportation security, and cybersecurity defenses, enhance first responder capabilities, and streamline the management efficiency of the Department of Homeland Security. My Committee is working to get common sense legislation signed into law as soon as possible and make our country safer by doing so."
