When I was very young, the United States provided my family and me a place of refuge. Now, I have been nominated to be the DHS Secretary and oversee the protection of all Americans and those who flee persecution in search of a better life for themselves and their loved ones.
It is an honor to be nominated and entrusted by the President-elect to serve. It is no small task to lead the Department of Homeland Security, but I will work to restore faith in our institutions, and protect our security here at home.
I’m very proud of my identity, I’m very proud of my heritage, I’m very proud of my parents, and most of all I’m proud to be a United States citizen.
As Secretary of Homeland Security, I hope I can represent for others the opportunities that America provides to everyone.
For twelve years I had the privilege to stand in a federal courtroom and announce, “Alejandro Mayorkas on behalf of the United States of America.”
The words “on behalf of the United States of America” meant everything to me and to my parents.

Honored to be endorsed by these experts and former officials. The SolarWinds breach highlights the gravity of the threats we face. If confirmed, I will work day and night to protect us against cyber attacks and other malicious efforts to harm our homeland.
