Evidence

Committee background says Pfluger introduced the Field Integration of Homeland Intelligence Act of 2026 in March; it would require DHS to move I&A out of a headquarters-centric model and into a field-based structure over two years.

Official committee messaging shows Pfluger is actively pursuing the exact field-based reorganization, but the proposal is still only legislative and has not yet become DHS policy.

Assessments

unresolved unknown A for effort

Pfluger sponsored the Field Integration of Homeland Intelligence Act of 2026, which directly matches the promised shift of DHS I&A from a headquarters-based to field-based model within two years, and he advanced related I&A reform work through his subcommittee. However, the field-integration bill has not been enacted and there is no evidence that DHS has implemented the transition. Because Pfluger remains in federal office and the effort is still pending rather than finally failed, the promise is unresolved with credit for a serious attempt.
