Question 11 9 / 10 pts
Assume you are the outgoing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary on January 1, 2025, nineteen days before the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States. DHS received an in-person classified briefing from the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding the CIA's creditable human asset who has passed several polygraph examinations revealing that at least 19 terrorists are planning to enter the United States over the next two weeks and planned to launch multiple attacks on this nation during the inauguration on January 20, 2024. Based on your reading and knowledge gained during this course, describe what authority and tools are available within the current national security apparatus to prevent this potential terrorist incident. Consider using and describing such important assets as the Terrorist Screening Centers (TSCs) and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA Court) in your well-written essay. Because the inauguration is held at the United States Capitol, is additional authority granted for law enforcement and intelligence operations to include engagement with the FBI and CIA to detect, arrest, and prevent potential terrorism on January 20, 2024? To receive full credit, a well-written essay will have between 300 and 400 words with at least three (3) in-text citations and three (3) different references listed below the essay.

Your Answer:
As the outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security, I understand the urgency of deploying every available authority and tool to counter the credible terrorist threat targeting the 2025 inauguration. Under the Homeland Security Act of 2002 and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has significant authority to coordinate nationwide counterterrorism operations and enhance intelligence sharing among agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). A key resource in these efforts is the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), which maintains the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB). This database allows the identification and vetting of individuals traveling into or within the United States (US), with enhanced screening facilitated by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the National Targeting Center (NTC) at ports of entry (Radvanovsky & McDougall, 2023).
In addition to these measures, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA Court) provides a critical legal avenue for monitoring suspected terrorists. Through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), in collaboration with the FBI and CIA, DHS can secure ..... [ BUY TO SEE FULL ANSWER ]
Question 12 15 / 15 pts
Based on your reading about the historical foundation of terrorism and the rise of Islamic extremism in the Middle East, should the United States continue its military engagement in that region or change foreign policy to include the withdrawal of civilians and military troops and reduction of funding for counterterrorism program in the region? To receive full credit, your well-written essay will have between 350 and 450 words, with at least three in-text citations and three different references listed below the response. Your well-written essay response must be relevant and provide an analysis of the justification for your position with data on the overall goal of the United States' current foreign policy concerning counterterrorism with the use of funding and military intervention in the Middle East as part of our national security strategy. In essence, can the tools and authority granted within the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism legislation continue to prevent terrorism in the United States without deployment of armed forces in the Middle East as a deterrent to terrorism?
This is an essay response, not a discussion board posting, and good grammar with references and in-text citations is required.
Your Answer:
The United States (U.S) military engagement in the Middle East has long been critical to its counterterrorism strategy. Still, the question remains whether continued military involvement is the most effective approach. I will evaluate the justification for U.S. military presence in the region and the potential for a strategic shift toward non-military counterterrorism efforts, particularly in light of the provisions established under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act.
The main goal of U.S. counterterrorism policy is to prevent terrorist attacks against American interests and citizens. Military interventions, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan, have aimed at disrupting terrorist networks, eliminating key figures, and preventing safe havens for groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). However, prolonged military presence in the region has also contributed to anti-American sentiments and served as .... [ BUY TO SEE FULL ANSWER ]
