U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) joined fellow members of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, for a field hearing at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City titled “18 Years Later: The State of Homeland Security after 9/11.” Participants and members discussed how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has evolved to address an ever-changing threat landscape since 9/11, how it can adapt to new and emerging threats, and the role Congress plays in addressing the dynamic nature of identified threats. The witness included three former secretaries of DHS: the Honorable Michael Chertoff (2005-2009), the Honorable Janet A. Napolitano (2009-2013), and the Honorable Jeh C. Johnson (2013-2017).
