We demand DHS preserve all communications and internal records concerning Mr. Lewandowski's role within the Department, as well as the Department's practices, policies, and procedures related to contracting, personnel, and the handling of classified materials.

David warns that the chaos at the department, combined with President Trump's demand that the SAVE Act be passed before he will sign any budget for the DHS, could endanger Americans as the United States wages war against Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.

With the selection of Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin, 47, to replace Kristi Noem, Donald Trump has placed one of the most loyal members of Congress to his agenda at the head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). A staunch MAGA supporter, Mullin is very likely to lead the department in line with Trump's immigration policy, aimed at achieving the largest deportation in U.S. history.

Asked by investors about his biggest worries, CEO Rick Smith said: A misstep around privacy and data handling. Without elaborating on specific examples, he said: We are seeing that those are concerns right now out in the public. I think that would be one where we could make a mistake that would have outsized negative consequences.

TSA PreCheck remains operational with no change for the traveling public

The DHS website, Arrested: Worst Of the Worst, features the name, crimes, and location of arrest for thousands of people the agency claims were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But after CNN questioned DHS on the findings of an analysis of the website, the agency conceded that a large swath of the information was incorrect. CNN's analysis found that hundreds of the persons listed on the website had been arrested or convicted of very minor crimes, such as a singular traffic offence

A 21-year-old social media manager received a major promotion within President Donald Trump's administration despite raising concerns over his alleged white nationalist rhetoric, according to a new report. The New York Times reported on Thursday that 21-year-old Peyton Rollins was brought over to the Department of Homeland Security this month to help run their social media. This follows Rollins making a splash with his social media work over at the Department of Labor, work that caused concern among a number of colleagues.

The case centers on reimbursement requests submitted by local governments under federal migrant support grants. Those requests were filed before Homeland Security formally terminated the grants, and the law requires agencies to process reimbursements within a statutory 30-day window. Instead of paying up or offering a lawful explanation for denying the requests, the administration froze the funds and then argued that it no longer had to meet the reimbursement deadline because the grants were now in "closeout."

The lack of specificity has led to questions locally about whether immigration enforcement could be part of the federal role, despite the department's long-standing involvement in large-scale event security. In a statement, Tricia McLaughlin, an assistant secretary at DHS, said the department is committed to working with our local and federal partners to ensure the Super Bowl is safe for everyone involved, as we do with every major sporting event,

.@POTUS @realDonaldTrump: I make a direct appeal to immediately fire @Sec_Noem. Americans have died. She is betraying DHS's core mission and trashing your border security legacy. DO NOT make the mistake President Biden made for not firing a grossly incompetent DHS Secretary.

Schumer has demanded that Republicans separate the DHS funding bill from five other spending bills for many other agencies and said Democrats would vote for those bills to keep the government open. They want to negotiate sweeping changes to how ICE operates in exchange for passing the DHS funding measure, including an outside investigation into the killing of protester Alex Pretti, improved training for dealing with protestors and bystanders. and forcing agents to stop wearing masks to obscure their identity.

On Saturday, the same day that federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti on a Minneapolis street, the Justice Department sent a letter to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The letter did not have anything to say about the violence caused by the Department of Homeland Security's presence in the state. Nor did it offer Minnesota any assistance in the investigation of Pretti's death or that of Renee Good's just more than two weeks earlier.

60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi said the Department of Homeland Security deflected all questions about abuses at the notorious El Salvadoran CECOT prison, even after having an extra month to respond after CBS News chief Bari Weiss originally spiked the story. Weiss pulled the story right before it was set to air on Dec. 21 because she said, we do not present the administration's argument for why it sent 252 Venezuelans to CECOT.

Ridge, a moderate Republican and a Vietnam vet with a square jaw and gentle manner, was the governor of Pennsylvania when nearly 3,000 Americans were killed on September 11, 2001. The nation was gripped with fear and horror, and President George W. Bush put the bipartisanship-seeking Ridge in charge of making sure there wouldn't be another terrorist strike. The new Cabinet-level entity that he would lead mashed together more than 20 federal agencies under one Orwellian name.

An anonymous person in Florida has registered the domain nazis.us and redirected it to the Department of Homeland Security's website in an apparent protest of the Trump administration. As of Thursday evening, the URL that sounds like it would be the homepage for U.S.-based Nazis does still redirect to dhs.gov when entered into a web browser. According to GoDaddy's WHOIS database records, nazis.us was registered on Jan. 13 by someone with a mailing address in Florida.

Twelve House Democrats who last year sued the Trump administration over a policy limiting congressional oversight of immigrant detention facilities returned to federal court Monday to challenge a second, new policy imposing further limits on such unannounced visits.
