A Beverly Hills High School alumnus may soon clock in to work at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. On Nov. 23, President-Elect Joe Biden nominated Alejandro Mayorkas to serve as the head of the Department of Homeland Security. If confirmed by the senate, he would become the first Latino and immigrant to assume the Cabinet position.
“We have no time to lose when it comes to our national security and foreign policy,” Biden said in a statement. “I need a team ready on Day One to help me reclaim America’s seat at the head of the table, rally the world to meet the biggest challenges we face, and advance our security, prosperity, and values. This is the crux of that team.”
