Directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to transmit to the House of Representatives certain documents relating to Department of Homeland Security policies and activities related to the security of Department information and data and the recruitment and retention of its workforce.
This resolution mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security transmit specific documents to the House of Representatives within 14 days of its adoption. The requested documentation primarily concerns two critical areas: the security of Department information and data and the recruitment and retention of its workforce . This directive aims to provide congressional oversight into DHS operations. Regarding information security, the resolution seeks all documentation related to requests, access, and data supplied to the Department of Government Efficiency, including how DHS evaluates such requests and its policies for granting access to non-employees. It also demands information on investigations into the Office of Personnel Management's access to employee data for non-routine purposes and any associated security implications. For workforce matters, the resolution requires documentation on the implementation of a January 20, 2025, presidential memorandum imposing a federal civilian employee hiring freeze. This includes details on the number of pending and accepted job offers as of that date, individuals who accepted offers but have not yet been onboarded, and employees who accepted the Office of Personnel Management's deferred resignation offer. The resolution also seeks information on the designation of national security employees in relation to these workforce directives.
