Inspector General
Announces Review of Implementation of Executive Order
Today,
the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General (DHS OIG)
announced that it will review DHS’ implementation of the recent Executive
Order, “Protecting the Nation from Terrorist Entry into the United States by
Foreign Nationals.” The review is being
initiated in response to congressional request and whistleblower and hotline
complaints.
In
addition to reviewing the implementation of the Executive Order, the OIG will
review DHS’ adherence to court orders and allegations of individual misconduct
on the part of DHS personnel. If
circumstances warrant, the OIG will consider including other issues that may
arise during the course of the review.
At the
culmination of its review, the DHS OIG will provide a final report to Secretary
Kelly, the Congress, and the public.
