A quick definition of Department of Homeland Security (DHS):

Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is a government department in the United States that helps keep people safe. They do this by working on things like stopping terrorism, making sure people follow the rules when they come into the country, and helping people during disasters like hurricanes or earthquakes. The DHS was created after a big attack on the United States in 2001, and it is led by the Secretary of Homeland Security. The DHS is in charge of many different parts of public safety, like border security, cybersecurity, and disaster management.

A more thorough explanation:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is a part of the United States government that deals with public security-related matters. It was created in response to the terrorist attacks that happened on September 11, 2001. The DHS is responsible for:

  • Counter-terrorism
  • Border security
  • Cybersecurity
  • Immigration and customs
  • Disaster prevention, preparedness, and management

The DHS is led by the Secretary of Homeland Security and is based in Washington D.C. It includes federal agencies that were previously dealing with topics related to homeland security, such as the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the U.S. Coast Guard.

For example, the DHS is responsible for securing the borders of the United States and preventing illegal immigration. It also works to prevent terrorist attacks and respond to natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes.

I have this professor for a legal analysis and writing for clients class that said you will need a JD and legal experience to get an A. He also grades ridiculously hard but leaves no comments on why you got that grade or what you did wrong. Dude is pissing me off with the whole you are wrong figure it out approach.
