Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) called for the Department of Government Efficiency to properly look into the Department of Homeland Security, as doing so would ensure all of its money is going toward securing the nation’s border.

Former acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf posted a thread on X about some of the wasteful ventures that took place at the agency, including financing billboards promoting services for illegal immigrants and a grant of at least $40,000 given to the U.S. E-Sports Association “under the guise of preventing terrorism.” Gonzales, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, expressed thanks to DOGE and its head, Elon Musk, for holding the government “accountable” and called for “everyone” to explain to DOGE how they use taxpayer dollars.
