Dhs Intelligence Rotational Assignment Program and Law Enforcement Support Act

Floor Speech

Date: Nov. 17, 2025
Location: Washington, DC


Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill which directs the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, to require all components of the Department of Homeland Security intelligence enterprise to participate in the intelligence community's Civilian Joint Duty Program.

The Civilian Joint Duty Program allows professionals across the 18 U.S. intelligence agencies to temporarily work in a different U.S. intelligence organization to broaden their skills beyond their home agencies.

Requiring the participation of all DHS intelligence offices in the program will expose the DHS intelligence workforce to best practices in the field and promote cross-organizational networks.

H.R. 2212 not only supports the professional development of the DHS intelligence workforce but fosters more information sharing and better positions DHS to identify and mitigate threats to the homeland.

Mr. Speaker, I support the bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. HERNANDEZ. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 2212, and I yield back the balance of my time.
