THE HOMELAND IS NOT SECURE — Underwood BLASTS Kristi Noem Over Lawless Chaos

Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL) delivers a powerful and urgent message directly to Secretary Kristi Noem: “The homeland is not secure.” In a searing oversight hearing, Underwood lays out a devastating case against the Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security—exposing illegal spending, gutted cyber defenses, the deportation of U.S. citizens, defunded disaster preparedness programs, and the erosion of constitutional protections.

With calm precision and fierce moral clarity, Underwood calls out the unlawful detention and deportation of immigrants, the misuse of taxpayer dollars for political messaging, and the administration’s reckless disregard for congressional authority. She warns that DHS is spending money it doesn’t have, in defiance of Congress, and risking violations of the Anti-Deficiency Act—all while sidelining national security priorities for political theater.

This isn’t partisan rhetoric. This is about the rule of law, the separation of powers, and the Constitution itself. If America is truly a democracy, it cannot allow one branch of government to override the others—or ignore the Bill of Rights in the name of “security.”

Underwood reminds Secretary Noem—and the American people—that true homeland security means defending our laws, protecting civil rights, and honoring the oath every official swore: not to a party or a president, but to the Constitution of the United States.
