Chairman Pfluger's bipartisan “I&A Mission Reorientation Act of 2026” would update I&A’s statutory responsibility to clearly define its focus, reinforce accountability, and improve operational effectiveness. The legislation would strengthen information sharing with state, local, tribal, and territorial partners.
“The threats to our homeland are evolving, and it is critical that our intelligence posture keeps pace. The I&A Mission Reorientation Act refocuses DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis on its core mission: delivering timely, actionable intelligence to state and local partners on the front lines,” Subcommittee Chairman Pfluger said. “By strengthening information sharing and expanding forward‑deployed capabilities, this bill closes critical gaps and ensures intelligence reaches decision‑makers when it matters most. I thank Congressman Magaziner for his partnership in advancing this legislation through the U.S. House of Representatives.”

Assessments
Pfluger sponsored H.R. 7443, the I&A Mission Reorientation Act of 2026, which directly matches the promised DHS Intelligence and Analysis statutory mission update. The bill advanced through subcommittee and was ordered favorably reported by the House Homeland Security Committee on June 24, 2026 by a 30-0 vote, showing a serious legislative effort during his current House term. However, the evidence shows no House passage, Senate passage, presidential signature, or enactment, so the statutory mission was not actually updated.
Pfluger introduced H.R. 7443, the I&A Mission Reorientation Act of 2026, and advanced it through the Counterterrorism and Intelligence Subcommittee by voice vote in the same congressional term. The bill directly targets the promised DHS I&A statutory mission update, accountability, operational effectiveness, and SLTT intelligence-sharing role. However, as of May 31, 2026, it had not passed the full committee, the House, the Senate, or become law, so the statutory mission had not actually been updated.
