MEDIA ADVISORY: Chairman Garbarino Announces Annual Worldwide Threats Hearing

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Andrew R. Garbarino (R-NY) announced the date for the Committee's annual Worldwide Threats hearing:

"Today we face a far broader and more complex threat landscape than 25 years ago, but our shared mission remains the same as it was in the aftermath of 9/11: to protect the American people. From the emergence of AI-enabled cyberattacks and adversaries such as Iran targeting U.S. critical infrastructure to terrorist organizations utilizing new tools to recruit and inspire across the globe, next week's hearing comes at a pivotal moment. The Committee has consistently held this annual hearing for over a decade, and it remains an important touchpoint between lawmakers and the executive branch to help ensure our federal partners have the necessary coordination, resources, authorities, and personnel to fulfill their no-fail missions today and prepare for the threats of tomorrow."
