DHS saves $ 12 billion in 200 days under secretary Kristi Noem Leadership

EXCLUSIVE: The Ministry of Internal Security has announced that $ 12 billion in savings were carried out as a result of a process of examining contracts and other cuts in the last two days.

The DHS says that secretary Kristi Noem is examining and signs personally or declines any contract of more than $ 100,000, resulting in a reduction of $ 10.7 billion, according to the ministry. She has examined more than 5,000 contracts and the DHS indicates that decisions are made in one day.

In addition, the decision to “eliminate career bureaucrats” resulted in $ 1.3 billion in cuts, without ensuring roles that had a public security element, according to the DHS.
