On her LinkedIn account, Karinda Washington celebrated the return of Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as DHS Secretary under the Biden Administration. Under his leadership led to some of the largest illegal border crossings and put national security at risk pro migrant policies. He also aided Illegals to cross the border then flown to the city of their choice on the tax payer dime.

On her LinkedIn account, Karinda Washington expressed support for implementing social justice training for law enforcement and advocated for significant reforms in police operations following “the tragic death of Mr. George Floyd”:

While DHS has many important national security priorities, holding a “National Conversation on Social Justice and Law Enforcement” is certainly not one of them.

In a DHS spotlight from February 2022, spoke in favor of diversity ad claimed that diversity is a driver of workplace innovation:

“I believe in the beauty and power of diversity. Diversity in race/ethnicities/cultures/gender, etc. leads to heterogeneous schools of thought. It's at that intersection where innovation and creativity thrive.”

Karinda Washington could not be much clearer – she is an ardent supporter of DEI at DHS.

Karinda Washington's tenure at DHS, skyrocketing to a senior executive role within a decade, spotlighted DEI initiatives over core security functions like Border Security and the Protection of POTUS.

(0:41) ""It is an honor and a privilege to stand before you today and on a such a special topic. As we were walking in, I saw Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion just on all the signs, and social impact is at the very Foundation of that work. To my DHS colleagues that are here and those who are uh former DHS colleagues, I thank you for your service. I thank you for your support and on this 20th year of our Department. Wow, how far we've come! How blessed we are to be where we are, and I am so thankful and so proud of the vision of where we're going. To our interns, I see you, see quite a few of you over there. Thank you for showing up today because it's you that drives me to do what I do each day, and so I thank you all for taking a chance on DHS. We're Not Gonna Let You Down.""

(3:47)" We are women celebrating our stories and sharing our stories. And so then there's Secret Service Officer Wilson who also shared that she was the only woman in her class recently in 2023. And so if we are going to be a department to evolve, to continue to open doors, one thing that we have to be certain of that 'only' and 'first' become historic references. Because 'only' and 'first' means that in all these years, on our 20th year, we've got a lot of work to do."

(6:27) "We exist to ensure DHS resources are shared with underserved and underrepresented communities. Period. All of them. Contracts, jobs. I like to say DHS is hiring and we're buying. Everybody won't be an employee, some are intended to be an employer, and so we want to unlock a number of opportunities that have been traditionally and systemically designed to lock certain communities out. I'm here to stand and let you know the door is open. DHS is open and we're here. Due to our work, DHS is being invited in some of the most non-traditional places and spaces. In a climate when law enforcement is taking a challenge of how to recruit and retain, law enforcement is being asked to stay out of certain places and spaces. Our department, and God bless our Secretary, because if you did not see any of the hearings these last two days, our department is being challenged."

(14:48) “I'm so proud of my colleagues. There Is Power an opening doors for people of underserved and underrepresented communities. There Is Power in white men opening doors for women, people of color, and here's why: typically they're already in the room, typically conversation has already been said at a department that is predominantly white male. I know that all too well and so if there had not been white men opening doors for me, white men allowing me to be the voice in the room."
