Last week. terrorists brutally murdered 12 people at the office of a French satirical magazine. a police officer. and four individuals at a kosher grocery store. That is a tragic example of the kind of outoftheblue attack that the Department of Homeland Security. along with its other law enforcement partners. is working hard to prevent here in the United States. Partisan games on immigration will delay grants to States and major urban areas. funding that is critical for supporting local first responders in our defense against homegrown terrorism and for fusion centers. where the Department of Homeland Security gathers. shares. and analyzes threat information with its State and local law enforcement partners. The failure to enact a fullyear bill will slow down efforts for the Secret Service to begin addressing problems with security at the White House. The Department will be limited in its ability to move forward with the Secretarys Unity of Effort initiative to make the Department more strategic and improve coordination among its components.
