Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem spoke at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy commencement ceremony in New London May 21.

A federal judge said that she had concerns about being “hoodwinked” by plans put forward in her courtroom Monday by a Trump appointee to rebuild three offices focused on civil rights oversight within the Department of Homeland Security that were eviscerated with mass layoffs set to take effect this week.

DHS has criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz after he compared ICE agents to President Donald Trump's personal "Gestapo".

“It is absolutely sickening to compare ICE law enforcement agents to the Gestapo,” Homeland Security said Sunday on its official X account, referencing the police force that apprehended and deported groups of people labeled political enemies in Nazi Germany.

The current jet is more than 20 years old, and that it's 'outside of Gulfstream’s service life,' a spokesperson said.

It was the first government-chartered flight under a programme offering free travel and $1,000 to immigrants in the US illegally.

The idea, from reality TV veteran Rob Worsoff, would see immigrants compete in stereotypically American activities like collecting gold from a mine in San Francisco or assembling a Model T in Detroit.

A training exercise that included the Department of Homeland Security raised concerns at three Albemarle County schools on Tuesday.

The Department of Homeland Security wants to spend $50 million to buy a new long-range Gulfstream jet, replacing one used by Secretary Kristi Noem and top Coast Guard and DHS officials.

Northeastern University is involved in homeland security and defense research. A $33 million purchase will expand these efforts.
