The most recent press release, "United States Files Forfeiture Action Against Over One Million Rounds of Ammunition Enroute from Iran to Yemen," was submitted on March 31.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security published 12 releases the month before, marking a 50 percent increase for the current month.
The Department was built out of more than 20 agencies in 2002. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lower taxes and boosting federal efficiency, argued the Department is burdened with "unneeded bureaucracy" which could be handled by other departments or standalone operations.
At the national level, DHS’s attention and political emphasis is accused of being out of balance with many of today’s most serious threats.
