Border Security

  Pick any topic related to the affairs/actions/policies/practices of the Department of Homeland Security. On this topic you must prepare a short case study or general research and submit it by the dates I will specify at the end of this post. https://www.dhs.gov/taxonomy/term/3935/all# Anything you as a civilian can do to assist your community to meet the challenges of dealing with (find out how many and what they are) phases of Emergency Management (you can write a thousand papers on this topic) will eventually fall under the umbrella of the DHS; do some research, tell us what you’ve discovered. Hint – CERT. Research and describe what FEMA and DHS do to deliver Emergency Management awareness to the public. Look into the training available free of charge to all members of the Law Enforcement, Emergency Response, Emergency Management (and even the private sector) communities. Tell me what to do and how to find/obtain such training. https://www.ics.uci.edu/%7Eucrec/intranet/miscdocs/HSclassnotes/class10.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Support_of_Civil_authorities Research this topic. Find out what DOD/DHS forces are involved and how. Find out IF there are other NON-federal BUT military-structured participants in DSCA and if there are - tell us who they are, what they do (hint – SGAUS). Research DSCA w/i the California and NY states… you will find more than enough information to produce hundreds of case studies. https://www.heritage.org/defense/report/why-more-states-should-establish-state-defense-forces (find out and tell me if NYS has anything to do with this and if yes – what is it?). https://www.cbp.gov/frontline/border-crisis-cbp-s-response https://www.defense.gov/Explore/News/Article/Article/1675810/ How does Posse Comitatus play into this scenario? Does it apply? Is it violated? Are the DOD troops acting in the LE capacity or Support LE capacity? Find out and tell us what the role of the DOD troops is/was here. Were there non-DOD branch(es) of service used in this operation? If yes – who were they and what was different about them?
