In March, Subcommittee Chairman Pfluger also introduced the “Field Integration of Homeland Intelligence Act of 2026,” which requires the DHS secretary to transition I&A from a headquarters-based model to a field-based model within two years, better integrating fusion centers and law enforcement partners across the country.
I will transition DHS Intelligence and Analysis from a headquarters-based model to a field-based model within two years.
Occurrences
In March, Chairman Pfluger also introduced the “Field Integration of Homeland Intelligence Act of 2026,” which would require the DHS secretary to transition I&A from a headquarters-based model to a field-based model within two years, better integrating fusion centers and law enforcement partners across the country.
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.
The markup record shows H.R. 7443 advanced by voice vote to the full committee.
Assessments
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.
