  • He emphasized that officials within Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had preferred earlier actions to restrict border crossings.
  • The June 2024 executive order resulted in a significant decrease in border crossings, but Lechleitner believes more could have been achieved with early interventions.
  • He expressed concerns over staffing and funding limitations, highlighting the need for more resources under the incoming Trump administration.
