Border czar Tom Homan declined to clarify a recent statement from Homeland Security Kristi Noem on election security, specifically when she suggested her agency must be “proactive” in ensuring the “right leaders” are elected.

Noem made the remark at a press conference in Arizona on Friday, in which she argued elections partly fall under the purview of the Department of Homeland Security. While pushing Congress to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which would require photo ID and proof of citizenship for voting in U.S. elections, she underscored that DHS must do its part as well, including by having “the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country through the days that we have, knowing that people can trust it.”
