The Heritage Foundation has wasted no time in becoming the top conservative influence on homeland security and immigration policy, today announcing that it has scooped up former President Donald Trump’s team that designed and implemented border changes.
The GOP’s go-to policy house named former acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, former acting Deputy Homeland Security Secretary Ken Cuccinelli, and former acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan as fellows to its Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy.
The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday issued a threat bulletin due to the ongoing potential for violence in the wake of the presidential inauguration, including concerns that domestic extremists may be emboldened by the attack on the US Capitol.
Acting DHS Secretary David Pekoske issued the National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin due to a heightened threat environment across the United States, which DHS believes will persist in the weeks following the January 20 presidential inauguration.
