Field Integration of Homeland Intelligence Act of 2026

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security, within two years, to move the main analysis work of its Office of Intelligence and Analysis from its Washington, DC headquarters to field locations in its regions. The Secretary would assign at least one Intelligence Officer and at least one Intelligence Analyst to every fusion center, and at least one Intelligence Officer to each joint or interagency task force. Assigned staff would receive civil rights, civil liberties, and privacy training before starting, would serve three-year terms that could be extended up to two more years, and would report to regional directors. The department would submit a staffing plan within 180 days, an initial progress report within one year, and annual assessments to Congress for five years after that.
