The most recent press release, "DHS Statement on Safety and Enforcement During Hurricane Ian," was submitted on Sept. 28.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security published nine releases the month before, marking a 111.1 percent increase for the current month.
The Department was built out of more than 20 agencies in 2002. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lower taxes and boosting federal efficiency, argued the Department is burdened with "unneeded bureaucracy" which could be handled by other departments or standalone operations.
At the national level, DHS’s attention and political emphasis is accused of being out of balance with many of today’s most serious threats.
