U.S. Department of Homeland Security, also known as DHS, is a state-owned entity headquartered in the US. Founded in 2002, it employs approximately 38,480 individuals. Functioning as a government administration body, its core mission revolves around the comprehensive administration of governmental functions related to homeland security.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) suspended the TSA PreCheck and Global Entry airport security programs on February 22, 2026, as a partial government shutdown continued, impacting millions of travelers who rely on the expedited screening programs. Airlines criticized the short notice for the suspension, which also affected FEMA aid deployments. The DHS announced that travelers enrolled in Global Entry would no longer use dedicated lanes, with the halt starting Sunday at 6 a.m. Eastern time. Earlier on February 22, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a component of DHS, acquired at least seven warehouses in Arizona, Georgia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Texas for conversion into detention centers, with these transactions noted for their secrecy.
