DHS Hiring Review Act

This bill, known as the DHS Hiring Review Act, requires the Department of Homeland Security to conduct audits and reviews of hiring and training processes at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The legislation mandates that the Under Secretary for Management audit hiring records for employees hired after a specific date to verify that background checks and other hiring standards were properly followed. It also requires cross-checking new employee records against state-level misconduct files to ensure prior law enforcement issues were considered before hiring. Additionally, the bill requires certification that all ICE and CBP officers have completed their required training, including documentation of training length, and directs the Government Accountability Office to report on these findings within one year.
