In the #911MuseumTalk with @annmarie, @SecMayorkas discusses the evolution of the threat landscape since 9/11:

"We have seen the threat evolve but we have not seen its prior iterations disappear… Our work at DHS requires vigilance, throughout the day every day...
"....And our greatest asset are in fact our people, the people in the department." - @SecMayorkas
.@SecMayorkas on cybersecurity:
 
"One is only as strong as one's weakest link. Because of our interconnectedness, if in fact a link is weak, we are all made vulnerable by it...
"...@DHSgov has granted funds to state and local communities, tribal and territorial officials, to really equip and empower them to invest in technology and strengthen cyber resilience and I think we need to do more of that and we are committed to it."
"Whether it is @CBP or @TSA, we understand that trade and travel, migration, are engines of prosperity. At the same time, on a risk-based platform we have to make sure that trade, travel, legal migration, is achieved while protecting the safety & security of the American public."
.@SecMayorkas on #DHSVeterans:
 
"Not only do we have about 250k people at DHS, we have about 56k veterans who continue their service to country through DHS. We're going to recognize those veterans & reflect on their service this Thursday on #VeteransDay."

As of November 10, 2021, DHS is not aware of an imminent and credible threat to a specific location in the United States.

As previously announced, starting Nov 8, travelers from Mexico and Canada who are fully vaccinated for #COVID19 may enter the U.S. for non-essential travel via land and ferry ports of entry.
The timing of this change is aligned with the new international air travel system that will also be implemented in November.
Restrictions continue to apply to non-essential travelers who are not fully vaccinated.

The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment leading up to and following the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks as well religious holidays we assess could serve as a catalyst for acts of targeted violence.
These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence, and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences.
