The most recent press release, "DHS Operations Blue Lotus and Four Horsemen Stopped Nearly 10,000 Pounds of Fentanyl, Led to 284 Arrests," was submitted on May 31.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security published 12 releases the month before, marking a 16.7 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.
