Page "Homeland security" Paragraph 4

The George W. Bush administration consolidated many of these activities under the United States Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ), a new cabinet department established as a result of the Homeland Security Act of 2002.

However, much of the nation's homeland security activity remains outside of DHS ; for example, the FBI and CIA are not part of the Department, and other executive departments such as the Department of Defense and Department of Health and Human Services play a significant role in certain aspects of homeland security.

Homeland security is coordinated at the White House by the Homeland Security Council, currently headed by John Brennan.
