The lead intelligence unit of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) — long plagued by politicized targeting, permissive rules, and a toxic culture — has undergone a transformation over the last two years. This effort, messaged as a comprehensive “360 review,” involved two phases: a realignment of office structures and an assessment of operational priorities and guidance. The review culminated in a 228-page policy and organizational manual quietly issued in the Biden administration’s waning days to govern the activities of the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A). This effort to break from a troubled past is commendable, but it ultimately does little to change the fundamental risk of abuse.
