CP3 prioritizes privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties within DHS legal authorities and policy. CP3 works to ensure that its programs include fundamental constitutional and legal protections. CP3 does not engage in widespread data collection or activities like law enforcement investigations or intelligence gathering. CP3 does not engage in censorship or encourage or facilitate any censorship. Government censorship of viewpoints not only infringes on individuals’ constitutional rights, but it is also an ineffective tactic to prevent targeted violence and terrorism.

*Statement from Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas on the Independent Review Panel Report of the July 13, 2024 Assassination Attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania*

WASHINGTON – Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas issued the following statement on the Independent Review Panel report released today regarding the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt against former President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“We are grateful to the members of the bipartisan Independent Review Panel and their staff for their in-depth examination of the security failures that led to the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt on the former President and the loss of life and casualties suffered. The members of the Independent Review Panel are highly accomplished individuals with extensive security and law enforcement backgrounds, and the U.S. Secret Service’s protection mission will benefit greatly from their recommendations.

“I have reviewed the Independent Review Panel’s report and have met with the Panel members. We will fully consider the Panel’s recommendations and are taking the actions needed to advance the Secret Service’s protection mission. These actions will be responsive not only to the security failures that led to the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt but, importantly, to what the Independent Review Panel describes as systemic and foundational issues that underlie those failures. I commend Acting Director Rowe for his leadership and for proactively undertaking security enhancements, including those informed by the Secret Service’s internal Mission Assurance Review.

“I have the utmost confidence in the men and women of the United States Secret Service. We are operating in a heightened and dynamic threat environment, and it is their talent, unwavering dedication, and tireless service that ensures the safety and security of their protectees and our nation.”

Following the events of July 13 President Joe Biden directed DHS to conduct an independent security review. On July 21, 2024 Secretary Mayorkas named a bipartisan panel [ https://www.dhs.gov/news/2024/07/21/secretary-mayorkas-names-bipartisan-independent-law-enforcement-experts-45-day ] with extensive law enforcement and security experience to conduct a 45-day independent review. The independent review panel of experts from outside of government was comprised of former DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano; the Hon. Mark Filip, a former federal judge and Deputy Attorney General to President George W. Bush; Ms. Frances Townsend, former Homeland Security Advisor to President George W. Bush; and Chief David Mitchell, the former superintendent of Maryland State Police and former Secretary of the Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security for the State of Delaware.

*DHS Offers Protections for Lebanese Nationals Currently in the United States* "10/17/2024"

*DHS Offers Protections for Lebanese Nationals Currently in the United States*

"Certain Lebanese nationals will be eligible for DED and TPS, allowing them to work and temporarily remain in the United States"

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is announcing new actions to provide temporary immigration reprieve to eligible Lebanese nationals currently in the United States and allowing them the opportunity to request work authorization. Included in today’s announcement are details related to the Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for Lebanese nationals as previously announced in July, and a planned new Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for Lebanon.

After consultation with interagency partners, Secretary Mayorkas is announcing a new TPS designation for Lebanon for 18 months due to ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions in Lebanon that prevent nationals of Lebanon from returning in safety. Those approved for TPS will be able to remain in the country while the United States is in discussions to achieve a diplomatic resolution for lasting stability and security across the Israel-Lebanon border. The designation of Lebanon for TPS will allow Lebanese nationals (and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Lebanon) who have been continuously residing in the United States since October 16, 2024 to file initial applications for TPS, if they are otherwise eligible. Lebanese nationals who entered the United States after October 16, 2024 will not be eligible for TPS. More information about TPS, including how to apply for employment authorization, will be included in a forthcoming Federal Register Notice which DHS intends to publish in the next few weeks. Individuals should not apply for TPS under this designation until this Federal Register Notice publishes.

Today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) also posted a Federal Register Notice [ https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/2024-24229/employment-authorization-individuals-covered-by-deferred-enforced-departure-for-lebanon ] establishing procedures for those Lebanese nationals covered by President Biden’s July 26, 2024 grant of Deferred Enforced Departure [ https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/deferred-enforced-departure ] to apply for Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) that will be valid through January 25, 2026. As described in the Federal Register Notice, eligible Lebanese nationals can apply for an EAD by filing Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization [ https://www.uscis.gov/i-765 ]. USCIS adjudicates each EAD application on a case-by-case basis to determine if an applicant meets all standards and eligibility criteria. More information about DED [ https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/deferred-enforced-departure ]-based EADs [ https://www.uscis.gov/i-765 ] is available on the USCIS website.

DHS is also publishing a Special Student Relief Notice for F-1 nonimmigrant students whose country of citizenship is Lebanon, or individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Lebanon, so that eligible students may request employment authorization, work an increased number of hours while school is in session, and reduce their course load while continuing to maintain F-1 status through the DED designation period.

In total, approximately 11,000 Lebanese nationals will likely be eligible for DED and TPS pursuant to these actions. There are also approximately 1,740 F-1 nonimmigrant students from Lebanon in the United States who may be eligible for Special Student Relief.

*Register for the Software Artifact Dependency Graph Generation Industry Day!*

You’re invited to attend the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science & Technology Silicon Valley Innovation Program’s (SVIP) hybrid Software Artifact Dependency Graph (ADG) Generation Industry Day on October 17, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. PT. Register to attend in-person in Menlo Park, CA or online via Zoom.

SVIP Industry Day participants will hear from experts about the history and current state of Software ADGs and why they are critical to understanding and managing risk to the software that powers the cyber and physical infrastructure, learn the specifics of the DHS use cases and technical requirements from experts at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), as well as eligibility and portal instructions for application submissions from SVIP. All participants will have the opportunity to submit questions for the speakers live, and in-person attendees will also have the opportunity to network with industry peers and experts, and DHS representatives.

Software ADGs help identify and track source code files that are incorporated into software without any effort from developers to both mitigate software vulnerabilities and help reduce the risk of cyberattacks that can compromise personal data and privacy. *The Software Artifact Dependency Graph Generation at Scale Topic Call* is seeking innovative technology solutions to complement and enhance existing approaches to software identification, enriching the software vulnerability data with intrinsic identifiers, such as ADGs, that are unique to a component’s contents to ensure safer and more stabl
