Statement

Date: Sept. 8, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Minors and Children

"We applaud DHS's efforts on working with its components to help integrate the needs of children into its policies. We commend the progress that DHS has made including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and their efforts on identifying the impacts of ransomware in K-12 schools, and the new child-focused policies within Customs and Border Protection. We believe the report represents progress and look forward to working with the Department on future iterations. We have a moral obligation to protect our nation's most vulnerable during catastrophic events -- and the Federal government should be leading this effort."
