U.S. Department of Homeland Security, also known as DHS, is a state-owned entity headquartered in the US. Founded in 2002, it employs approximately 38,480 individuals. Functioning as a government administration body, its core mission revolves around the comprehensive administration of governmental functions related to homeland security.
On May 2, 2026, President Trump signed a bill to fund most Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies, ending a 76-day partial shutdown following months of bipartisan negotiations. Previously on the same day, DHS and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indefinitely suspended associates of a former South Florida Congresswoman after an indictment alleging $5.7 million in disaster fraud. This action aligns with a commitment under President Donald J. Trump and Secretary Markwayne Mullin to investigate and hold offenders accountable. Earlier on May 2, an attorney representing the Trump administration informed a U.S. District Court that FEMA began offering new appointments to disaster workers whose contracts were not renewed in January, reversing a controversial decision that prompted a lawsuit from labor unions, scientific groups, and local governments. Also on May 2, a DHS contractor damaged the 1000-year-old Las Playas Intaglio cultural site on the Tohono O’odham Nation during border wall construction.
