Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, released a statement after leading a bipartisan Congressional Delegation to Naval Station Guantanamo Bay. During the visit, the members engaged with Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security officials on the detention and repatriation of illegal aliens. 
 

“Yesterday, I led a Congressional Delegation to Guantanamo Bay to see firsthand the incredible work being done by our servicemembers to keep our nation safe. At President Trump’s direction, the Department of Defense, in support of the Department of Homeland Security, has worked around the clock to secure our border and remove dangerous criminals from our country. During our visit, we met with servicemembers and law enforcement officials who have played a crucial role in facilitating the removal of some of the worst criminals. Border security is national security and I’m proud of the role the Department of Defense has played in protecting our nation and ending the invasion at our southern border.”
