Biden, who has been in constant communication with federal law enforcement officials and his homeland security team, including Secretary of Homeland Security Ali Mayorkas and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, emphasized the need for a thorough investigation to determine the motive behind the attack and to ensure the safety of the community.
