 Named the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group, the now disbanded board was created in September of 2023 to provide DHS with expert analysis on subjects like terrorism and the trafficking of certain controlled substances like fentanyl. The head of Homeland Security is addressing the killing of a 12-year-old Texas girl by a pair of illegal immigrants. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended the process that allowed the men to be released with a notice to appear in court.
