  • Ombudsman Case Assistance Online Pilot Program Fact Sheet
    Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman U.S. Department of Homeland Security Washington, D.C. 20528-1225 Fact Sheet August 1, 2011 Ombudsman Case Assistance Online Pilot Program The Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (Ombudsman’s Office) launches its Ombudsman Case Assistance Online pilot program, a new initiative that provides direct, paperless submission of requests for assistance to the Ombudsman’s Office. The pilot version is currently available to individuals who are located in Texas or the D.C. metropolitan area. The Ombudsman’s Office plans to expand this initiative nationwide in fall 2011. Questions and Answers: What is Ombudsman Case Assistance Online? Ombudsman Case Assistance Online is an Internet-based system operated by the Ombudsman’s Office. This system provides for the submission of requests for assistance from persons having difficulties with applications or petitions with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Currently, a paper-based Form DHS-7001 is available in PDF format. Ombudsman Case Assistance Online facilitates the same case assistance requests as the paper-based Form DHS-7001, but provides easier, more immediate access to the Ombudsman’s Office. Please note: The Ombudsman’s Office is a separate and independent agency within the Department of Homeland Securityand is not part of USCIS. The Ombudsman’s Office encourages individuals, employers, and organizations to first utilize all USCIS customer service resources, such as the USCIS website, National Customer Service Center’s toll-free phone line, and InfoPass appointments to resolve problems prior to submitting a request for assistance to the Ombudsman’s Office.

  • Texas Homeland Security Strategic Plan 2021-2025
    TEXAS HOMELAND SECURITY STRATEGIC PLAN 2021-2025 LETTER FROM THE GOVERNOR Fellow Texans: Over the past five years, we have experienced a wide range of homeland security threats and hazards, from a global pandemic that threatens Texans’ health and economic well-being to the devastation of Hurricane Harvey and other natural disasters to the tragic mass shootings that claimed innocent lives in Sutherland Springs, Santa Fe, El Paso, and Midland-Odessa. We also recall the multi-site bombing campaign in Austin, the cybersecurity attack on over 20 local agencies, a border security crisis that overwhelmed federal capabilities, actual and threatened violence in our cities, and countless other incidents that tested the capabilities of our first responders and the resilience of our communities. In addition, Texas continues to see significant threats from international cartels, gangs, domestic terrorists, and cyber criminals. In this environment, it is essential that we actively assess and manage risks and work together as a team, with state and local governments, the private sector, and individuals, to enhance our preparedness and protect our communities. The Texas Homeland Security Strategic Plan 2021-2025 lays out Texas’ long-term vision to prevent and respond to attacks and disasters. It will serve as a guide in building, sustaining, and employing a wide variety of homeland security capabilities. As we build upon the state’s successes in implementing our homeland security strategy, we must be prepared to make adjustments based on changes in the threat landscape. By fostering a continuous process of learning and improving, we can work together to ensure that Texas is employing the most effective and innovative tactics to keep our communities safe.

This established a binary paradigm between Americans and Muslims, where Americans represented “us” whereas Muslims represented “them.” Through a qualitative analysis of the main characters in the post-9/11 terrorism-show, Homeland, season one (2011), as well as an analysis of the opening sequence and the overall narrative in the show, this thesis argues that this binary system of “us” and “them” is no longer black and white, but blurred, and hard to define. My analysis indicates that several of the enemies in the show break with the stereotypical portrayal of Muslims as crude, violent fanatics.
