House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Andrew R. Garbarino has announced a new date for the committee’s annual Worldwide Threats hearing. The event will take place on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET in the 310 Cannon House Office Building.
Garbarino addressed the current global security environment by stating: “From the Chinese Communist Party and the Iranian regime to terrorist networks and malicious cyber actors, today’s challenges demand clear focus and coordinated action across all levels of government. I am grateful Secretary Noem has agreed to testify at our annual Worldwide Threats hearing next week alongside NCTC Director Kent.
“It is essential for the House Committee on Homeland Security to hear directly from senior officials in the Trump administration so we can ensure agencies have the necessary support to fulfill their duty to protect the American people and continue building on the administration’s successes in securing our borders. I look forward to the critical insights our witnesses will provide as we work together to secure our homeland.”
The main witnesses scheduled are Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, and Joseph Kent, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center. Additional witnesses may be announced at a later time. Testimony from these officials aims to inform committee members about pressing threats facing national security.
The hearing will be open to both the public and press. It will also be livestreamed on YouTube for those unable to attend in person. Members of the press are required to have congressional credentials and should RSVP ahead of time.
