Make PLCY's Immigration Statistics program the department's single source
Printed page 161 5. Department of Homeland Security
“PLCY should bolster its Immigration Statistics program and make it the one-stop shop for the timely production of all department immigration statistics and analysis.”
What has happened
- Not started
Nothing found bolsters PLCY's Immigration Statistics program or makes it the department's single source. The department's statistics function sits outside PLCY: the Office of Homeland Security Statistics is a separate DHS statistical office with its own site, its own leadership and a Migration Analysis Center, and it was stood up before the evidence window opened. No directive, reorganization or announcement inside the window moves immigration statistics into PLCY or designates PLCY the one-stop shop.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Research notes
Not started, on a negative search covering the asks on these pages that task PLCY. Not flagged Already true: the pre-window arrangement runs against the ask rather than satisfying it — DHS’s immigration statistics work was consolidated into the Office of Homeland Security Statistics rather than into the Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans.
- https://ohss.dhs.gov/ and https://ohss.dhs.gov/about (read) — OHSS describes its own mission as publishing and disseminating DHS data and statistics.
- The 2026-05-19 DHS organizational chart shows PLCY as a box in its own right with no statistics function attached.
