The DHS Hiring Review Act directs the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a comprehensive review of hiring and training practices at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Specifically, the bill requires an audit of all employees hired since early 2025 to verify that proper background checks and hiring standards were followed, and mandates that the department cross-reference new hires against state-level law enforcement misconduct records to ensure such information was considered during hiring. Additionally, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers must certify within 180 days that all ICE and CBP agents and officers have completed their required training programs. Within one year, the Government Accountability Office must report its findings to Congress, including the results of the hiring audit, how state misconduct records were used in evaluations, and training pass and fail rates for both agencies. No specific funding amount is mentioned in the legislation.
