Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem recently expressed the need for her agency to be 'shrunk' in order to realign its focus and streamline operations. Noem highlighted the current size of the bureaucracy, which consists of over 260,000 employees, and emphasized the importance of ensuring that all personnel are dedicated to the mission of keeping America safe.
She mentioned that an audit of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by Elon Musk and Department of Government Efficiency employees is underway. Noem stated that the audit is essential to identify areas where improvements can be made and inefficiencies can be addressed. Musk has been granted access to personal information, including data of FEMA disaster aid recipients, as part of this audit.
