DHS Hiring Review Act

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security's Under Secretary for Management, working with the Office of Personnel Management, to audit the hiring records of people hired by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) after the enactment of Public Law 119-21. The audit would check that hiring requirements, including background checks, were complete and met federal hiring standards. The Under Secretary would also compare new ICE and CBP employees hired since January 20, 2025, against State-level misconduct files, such as police records, to see whether that information was considered before hiring. Within 180 days, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers would have to certify that every ICE and CBP agent or officer completed required training, and within one year the Government Accountability Office would report the findings to Congress, including training pass and fail rates.
