Printed page 139 5. Department of Homeland Security
“The White House should grant the authority for CBP and DHS executives to utilize component aviation assets under the Office of Air and Marine (OAM).”
What has happened
- Not started
No authorization for CBP or DHS executives to use Office of Air and Marine aviation assets was found on any allowlisted source. Public Law 119-21 section 90004(a)(2) funds new OAM platforms, but funding aircraft is not granting executives the authority to fly on them.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Research notes
Instrument sought: a presidential or DHS authorization letting CBP and DHS executives travel on Office of Air and Marine aircraft.
Searched, in records current to 2026-08-28: presidential documents, final rules, proposed rules and notices in the Federal Register from DHS and its components; bills and public laws in Congress, from congress.gov; White House presidential actions; and federal court dockets (CourtListener), including the bulk snapshot of 1.2 million dockets. Nothing was found. This is an internal aviation-use authority that would not normally reach the Federal Register; DHS management directives are not published on an allowlisted index.
