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 September 17, 2026, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) inspector general audit revealed that a vendor supporting the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) biometric checkpoint system accessed and extracted passenger driver’s license and passport images during troubleshooting and system upgrades without TSA’s knowledge. Also on September 17, DHS released the procurement schedule for a significant contract consolidating its network security, cloud, and cybersecurity services, with an October target for the vehicle. Earlier that day, DHS reported terminating 362 grants, deobligating approximately $1 billion, and implementing new requirements for grant recipients in early 2025, following a presidential directive for federal agencies to review and terminate grants. Separately, New Jersey’s Office of Attorney General formally notified federal judges on September 17, 2026, of evidence suggesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) used a Roxbury warehouse to hold immigrant detainees earlier that month, reportedly in defiance of a court order in a lawsuit by the state and the township against ICE. This follows news from September 16, 2026, that engineering work for a proposed federal immigration detention facility near Williamsport advanced to the utility-planning stage, as Washington County and other local service providers calculated the necessary services for the site.
