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.
On July 31, 2026, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced its largest-ever expansion of the Uyghur forced labor blacklist, adding 43 companies to its Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List. This list targets firms benefiting from forced labor in China’s Xinjiang region. Earlier, on July 30, DHS explored acquiring a multimodal examination platform designed to allow government biometric specialists to review fingerprints, facial images, irises, and latent prints within a single integrated environment. This followed a significant change to the U.S. asylum system, which took effect on July 27. The Trump administration implemented a rule that eliminated the requirement for trained asylum officers to interview asylum seekers who entered the country legally or had not been charged with an immigration violation. This change could funnel hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers into deportation proceedings without an initial interview, thereby directing more asylum applications to immigration courts and undercutting asylum claims.
