Enforce Federal Records Act Compliance at DHS and Remove Secretary Noem

I am deeply concerned about the Department of Homeland Security's apparent failure to properly handle records in accordance with the Federal Records Act. This issue strikes at the heart of government transparency, accountability, and the preservation of our nation's history. The Federal Records Act, enacted in 1950, requires federal agencies to create, maintain, and preserve records that document their activities. These records are crucial for understanding government operations, informing policy decisions, and ensuring public trust. However, it appears that DHS is not fulfilling its legal obligations under this act. This failure has serious implications. Without proper record-keeping, we risk losing valuable information that could be critical for national security, policy analysis, and historical research. Moreover, it hampers our ability to hold government officials accountable and undermines the principles of open government that are fundamental to our democracy. I urge you to take immediate action to address this issue. First, launch a thorough investigation into DHS's record-keeping practices to identify where they fall short of Federal Records Act requirements. Second, implement robust measures to ensure full compliance, including staff training, updated procedures, and regular audits. Furthermore, I believe that Secretary Kristi Noem should be removed from her position for allowing this situation to develop under her leadership. The mismanagement of federal records is a serious dereliction of duty that cannot be overlooked. Time is of the essence. Every day that passes with improper record-keeping practices in place is another day of potential information loss. Please act swiftly to rectify this situation and restore integrity to DHS's record management. Our national security and the transparency of our government depend on it.
