Who is the Director of Homeland Security?

• A. Director Alejandro Mayorkas
• B. Director Markwayne Mullin
• C. Director Rand Paul
• D. Director Janet Yellen

Answer: (B)

The head of the Department of Homeland Security is Alejandro Mayorkas. He has served as the Secretary of Homeland Security since 2021, appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Mayorkas brings extensive experience to the role, including previous leadership positions within DHS such as Deputy Secretary and head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which involve coordinating border security, immigration policy, and national preparedness.

The other individuals listed hold different government roles: Markwayne Mullin and Rand Paul are U.S. Senators, and Janet Yellen is the Secretary of the Treasury. They do not lead the Department of Homeland Security, which is why Mayorkas is the correct choice.
