Printed page 165 5. Department of Homeland Security

“Therefore, all communications and/or meetings with any federal, state, local, or nongovernment groups should be limited to the Deputy General Counsel.”

What has happened

  1. Not started

    Nothing found. No directive limits CRCL and Privacy Office external communications and meetings -- with federal, state, local or non-governmental groups -- to a Deputy General Counsel. Both offices retain their own external-facing programs, including CRCL's public complaint intake, which DHS put forward for renewed OMB clearance on 2026-07-22.

    No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.
