Plain-English Summary

This bill would create a new office within the Department of Homeland Security to oversee intelligence activities and an ombudsman position to handle complaints from the public about DHS intelligence operations. The goal is to increase transparency and accountability so that DHS intelligence programs are properly monitored and citizens have a way to report concerns about how their information is being used. This would give Congress and the public better visibility into what DHS intelligence agencies are doing.
