United States President Donald Trump has announced the formation of a "revamped" Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC), aiming to bolster the nation's efforts on border security and drug prevention. The announcement was made through a post on Truth Social, where Trump introduced the members and outlined the council's objectives.

According to the president, the new HSAC is "comprised of top experts in their field," and includes South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, conservative commentator Mark Levin, former NYPD detective Richard Dietl, and Florida state senator Joseph Gruters. Trump emphasized that these individuals are "highly respected by their peers" and expressed confidence that they will "do an incredible job."

The council will operate under the leadership of U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Trump stated that the group will be focused on "developing new policies and strategies that will help us secure our border, deport illegal criminal thugs, and stop the flow of fentanyl and other illegal drugs that are killing our citizens."

The announcement reflects the administration’s ongoing prioritization of homeland security, particularly in addressing issues of illegal immigration and narcotics trafficking. With rising concern over fentanyl-related deaths across the country, Trump’s move to strengthen HSAC signals a renewed push for aggressive policy development and enforcement mechanisms at the federal level.

The revamped HSAC is expected to advise the Department of Homeland Security on a range of strategic measures aimed at enhancing national security. It will also serve as a bridge between federal authorities and state leaders to ensure coordination in addressing the complex challenges facing the country’s borders and communities.

As the council begins its work, expectations are high for impactful policy recommendations and tangible improvements in border control and drug interdiction. The administration has not yet released a detailed timeline for the council’s initiatives but has signaled urgency in addressing the growing threats facing American citizens.
