.@SecMayorkas on the cyber threat facing communities:
“Regardless of the size and sophistication of your infrastructure, you need to identify a person who can take charge of the cybersecurity portfolio because it is something that we all need to be vigilant about.”
On the need to work together to combat the threat of domestic violent extremism:
"Our goal is to be preventive—before we have to be responsive.” #MayorsDC22
As of November 10, 2021, DHS is not aware of an imminent and credible threat to a specific location in the United States.
The United States continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment as we approach several religious holidays and associated mass gatherings that in the past have served as potential targets for acts of violence.
"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
