Moulton Calls Out Blatant Lie from Secretary Noem During Congressional Hearing

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In response to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's testimony during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Thursday, in which Secretary Noem falsely claimed that the Department of Homeland Security "have not deported U.S. citizens or military veterans", Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) is publicly releasing the letter from Secretary Noem to Congressman Moulton which directly contradicts Secretary Noem's claim during her testimony today. 

The letter from Secretary Noem, dated September 2, 2025, reads, in part: "Regarding your question on the number of veterans that have been removed since January 20, 2025, ICE has removed eight veterans."

Congressman Moulton has been an outspoken advocate for deported veterans. Congressman Moulton detailed his experience visiting the southern border, including a trip to Juarez, Mexico to meet deported U.S. veterans at a makeshift safe house that doubled as the home of one of the veterans.
