  1. 01

    How would DHS coordinate existing cybersecurity and immigration enforcement agencies without new funding to avoid duplicating current threat-assessment efforts?

  2. 02

    What specific security threats from the CCP does this working group aim to address that current DHS operations do not already monitor?

  3. 03

    Why does the bill include a seven-year sunset provision rather than making this working group a permanent part of DHS operations?
