The president announced Dr. The White House stated the administration is continuing its affordability agenda, though the current legislation does not fund immigration enforcement for ICE or the Border Patrol. The nomination follows a funding agreement between Congress and the President for the Department of Homeland Security, excluding immigration enforcement. The announcement was reported on Friday morning. During a February confirmation hearing, Dr. Means reportedly does not hold an active medical license. No specific details regarding the third nominee's identity or qualifications were provided in the broadcast. She is also described as a wellness influencer and an originator of the Make America Healthy Again movement. The nomination follows reports that previous efforts were obstructed by Democratic opposition.
