Conservative org prepares aggressive plan for DHS overhaul if Republicans win White House in 2024

A project by the Heritage Foundation is outlining how a Republican administration could reshape the Department of Homeland Security in ways that are radical and durable.
The chapter on DHS, written by a team led by former assistant acting DHS Secretary Ken Cuccinelli, argues that DHS has become "bloated, bureaucratic, expensive and [has] lost sight of its mission priorities." Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
"DHS has also suffered from wokeness and weaponization by the left against Americans who the left perceives as its political opponents," the document says. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
The project says the best outcome would be the dismantling of DHS altogether, although it recognizes that political realities may prevent that.
