Spirit of Jefferson: Noem Joins Lawmakers for Ribbon Cutting at CBP Facility in Harpers Ferry

Large golden scissors gleamed in the midday sun, as Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito and Rep. Riley Moore smiled through the nearly 100-degree temperature, cutting a large ribbon to officially open a new facility at the agency's Advanced Training Center (ATC) campus outside Harpers Ferry.

“I’m excited to see what this center can bring in advanced training and technologies to each and every single one of the people that join to serve the public and the people of the United States,” Noem said.

“I have long believed that when you invest in things, you show you truly do care about them. … when you see people invest and build, they’re saying that they’re investing in the people that will train here.”
