  • National Strategy for Homeland Security 2007
    national strategy for HOMELAND SECURITY H OMELAND SECURITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2 0 0 7 national strategy for HOMELAND SECURITY H OMELAND SECURITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2 0 0 7 My fellow Americans, More than 6 years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, we remain at war with adversar- ies who are committed to destroying our people, our freedom, and our way of life. In the midst of this conflict, our Nation also has endured one of the worst natural disasters in our history, Hurricane Katrina. As we face the dual challenges of preventing terrorist attacks in the Homeland and strengthening our Nation’s preparedness for both natural and man-made disasters, our most solemn duty is to protect the American people. The National Strategy for Homeland Security serves as our guide to leverage America’s talents and resources to meet this obligation. Despite grave challenges, we also have seen great accomplishments. Working with our part- ners and allies, we have broken up terrorist cells, disrupted attacks, and saved American lives. Although our enemies have not been idle, they have not succeeded in launching another attack on our soil in over 6 years due to the bravery and diligence of many. Just as our vision of homeland security has evolved as we have made progress in the War on Terror, we also have learned from the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. We witnessed countless acts of courage and kindness in the aftermath of that storm, but I, like most Americans, was not satisfied with the Federal response. We have applied the lessons of Katrina to thisStrategy to make sure that America is safer, stronger, and better prepared.

  • Pointing Towards Clarity Or Missing the Point? a Critique of the Proposed "Social Group" Rule and Its Impact on Gender-Based Political Asylum
    POINTING TOWARDS CLARITY OR MISSING THE POINT? A CRITIQUE OF THE PROPOSED "SOCIAL GROUP" RULE AND ITS IMPACT ON GENDER-BASED POLITICAL ASYLUM LOREN G. STEWART* From the beginning of the marriage, her husband abused her. He raped her almost daily, beating her before and during each rape. He once dislocated her jawbone because her menstrual period was fifteen days late. When she refused to abort a pregnancy, he kicked her violently in her spine. Once, he kicked her in her genitalia, causing her severe pain and eight days of bleeding. She fled the city with their children, but he tracked them down and beat her unconscious. He broke windows and mirrors with her head. He told her that if she left him, he would find her, cut off her arms and legs with a machete and leave her in a wheelchair. She attempted suicide, but was unsuccessful. She contacted the police three times, but they did not respond. A judge denied her protection, saying that the court "would not interfere in domestic disputes."' She finally left him, fled to the United States, and applied for political asylum. Should women like Rodi Alvarado Pefia, described above, be eligible to receive political asylum in the United States?2 To be J.D. Candidate 2005, University of Pennsylvania Law School.

  • Transnational Ethnic Communities and Rebel Groups' Strategies in a Civil Conflict
    Transnational Ethnic Communities and Rebel Groups’ Strategies in a Civil Conflict The case of the Karen National Union rebellion in Myanmar Bethsabée Souris University College London (UCL) 2020 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science I, Bethsabée Souris, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis 1 2 Abstract Few studies have systematically analysed how transnational ethnic kin groups affect the behaviour of domestic ethnic groups in an insurgency, in particular how they have an effect on the types of activities they conduct and their targets. The research question of this study is: What are the mechanisms through which transnational ethnic kin groups influence the domestic rebel ethnic group’s strategies? This thesis analyses the influence of transnational communities on domestic challengers to the state as a two-step process. First, it investigates under which conditions transnational ethnic kin groups provide political and economic support to the rebel ethnic group. It shows that networks between rebel groups and transnational communities, which can enable the diffusion of the rebel group’s conflict frames, are key to ensure transnational support. Second, it examines how such transnational support can influence rebel groups’ strategies. It shows that central to our understanding of rebel groups’ strategies is the cohesion (or lack thereof) of the rebel group. Furthermore, it identifies two sources of rebel group’s fragmentation: the state counter-insurgency strategies, and transnational support. The interaction of these two factors can contribute to the fragmentation of the group and in turn to a shift in the strategies it conducts.

  • National Incident Management System (NIMS)
    December 18, 2008 Dear NIMS Stakeholders: Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-5, Management of Domestic Incidents, directed the development and administration of the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Originally issued on March 1, 2004, by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), NIMS provides a consistent nationwide template to enable Federal, State, 1 tribal, and local2 governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and the private sector to work together to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents, regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity. HSPD-5 also required DHS to establish a mechanism for ongoing coordination to provide strategic direction for, and oversight of, NIMS. The National Integration Center (NIC)’s Incident Management Systems Integration Division (IMSI)—formerly the NIMS Integration Center—was established to support both routine maintenance and the continuous refinement of NIMS. Since 2006, the NIMS document has been revised to incorporate best practices and lessons learned from recent incidents. The NIMS revision also clarifies concepts and principles, and refines processes and terminology throughout the document. A wide range of feedback was incorporated while maintaining the core concepts of NIMS and no major policy changes were made to the document during the revision. Below is a summary of changes to the NIMS document: . Eliminated redundancy; . Reorganized document to emphasize that NIMS is more than the Incident Command System (ICS); . Clarified ICS concepts; . Increased emphasis on planning and added guidance on mutual aid; . Clarified roles of private sector, NGOs, and chief elected and appointed officials; 1 As defined in the Homeland Security Act of 2002, P.L.

  • July 22, 2020 the Honorable Chad Wolf U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office of the Secretary Washington, D.C. 20528 Dear
    July 22, 2020 The Honorable Chad Wolf U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office of the Secretary Washington, D.C. 20528 Dear Acting Secretary Wolf, On behalf of the undersigned higher education associations, we write to follow up on the now withdrawn July 6 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) directive1, seeking clarity regarding the status of incoming international students. Given the quickly approaching start of the fall semester, and the need for flexibility for international students and institutions during the global pandemic, further clarification is required, particularly regarding new or initial international students at our institutions. We estimate that over 250,000 international students are planning to enter the United States for the coming academic year, either as new or returning students. In addition, there are several thousand international students awaiting admission decisions. We seek assurances that all students with a valid visa will be able to enter the U.S. during this uncertain time. We are especially concerned that the July 15 FAQ issued by ICE states that initial students who have not yet arrived in the U.S. should remain in their home country.2 As you know, given the diversity of our institutions, as well as the various state and local public health responses to COVID-19, colleges and universities are planning multi-faceted, nuanced models for reopening campuses this fall. Some are proceeding with online learning only, others intend to be primarily in-person, and many others have a range of plans for hybrid models. Even most of the institutions pursuing an online-only strategy already provide housing and support for international students, and will continue to do so for new students upon arrival.
