Terror In Asylum Proceedings: The Terrorism Bar to Asylum Protections
Immigration Attorney Raymond Lahoud presents on the Terrorism-Related Inadmissibility Grounds (TRIG) Bars and the application of the TRIG Bar in Immigration Proceedings.
Threat finance and financial intelligence
Threat finance is an enabling factor of crime and terrorism, and therefore, a challenge to both national and international security. The integration of global financial systems, as well as technological innovation and proliferation, has reduced barriers to threat finance and money laundering while making it difficult for authorities to detect or disrupt these illicit operations.
The American Security Project has compiled this presentation to provide an overview of threat finance and the methods used to launder money, as well as measures aimed at countering these activities.

This document summarizes a panel discussion on threat finance and how financial institutions and governments can prevent the financing of national security threats. The panelists were Jim Bischoff from US Special Operations Command, George Prokop from PwC, Don Semesky from Financial Operations Consultants, and Bill Ward from UnionBank. The panel discussed how threat actors like terrorist organizations use legitimate financial systems to raise, move and store funds. They provided examples of how this occurs through various licit and illicit means. The panel also discussed how financing allows threat actors to operate and achieve their objectives. The discussion concluded with recommendations for financial institutions to identify weak links in their anti-money laundering systems and the importance of public-private partnerships

The Secretary of Defense has directed all DoD leaders to conduct a 60-day "stand down" to address extremist ideologies in the ranks. Recent events have emboldened some violent extremist groups and the Secretary wants personnel at all levels to understand the threat. The goals of the stand down are to review the meaning of oaths taken, identify prohibited behaviors, responsibilities for reporting concerning behavior, and get feedback on further actions. While military members have rights, standards must be higher given access to classified information and lethal equipment.

Shawna Robles
1. Describe two strengths and two weaknesses you’ve discovered about homeland security in your previous studies.
One issue within the realm of homeland security that I have found to be both a strength and weakness is border security. Border security encompasses various aspects within the United States that work together to ensure foreign and domestic terrorism does not occur on American soil. This also includes land, air and maritime transportation methods in which illegal weapons, drugs and people are entering and being transported throughout the country. The recent series of Executive Orders in which the President announced were all designed to help protect the country by providing the Department of Homeland Security with “additional resources, tools and personnel to carry out the critical work of securing our borders, enforcing our immigration laws, and ensuring that individuals who pose a threat to national security or public safety cannot enter or remain in our country” (DHS, 2017). Border security remains to be a hot topic due to the amount of illegal drugs and contraband that are trafficked into and throughout the country daily. This is just a portion of the major issues DHS faces and continues to combat.
Another strength and weakness I have found within DHS is the creation of the department itself and its history. This might seem like a strange point to make, however, prior to 9/11 the United States had very little experience with foreign terrorism on American soil. The previous attack occurred in 1993 with the first bombings of the world trade centers (WTC) by extremists which caused only six deaths and thousands of injuries. The buildings had remained standing. Other than the WTC bombing, the Oklahoma City bombing was the only other one carried out domestically. Most of the attacks on US personnel occurred overseas in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and East Africa. 9/11 and the consequent investigations exposed the inadequacy in addressing and thwarting further attacks, the inability to coordinate information collection and the integration among various agencies, ultimately leading to the failure of identifying patterns of behavior which might have provided insight to future problems (Chertoff, 2016). It was not until 9/11 that DHS was created and programs were developed and implemented into normal emergency service operations. Federal agencies did not look to each other for support but more as competition and were openly hostile towards one another. The creation of DHS brought about fusion centers which actively collect, analyze and disseminate intelligence information to various agencies in order to deter illegal activities.
2. Create a draft research question and thesis statement about an issue of significant interest to you – perhaps based on the strengths and weaknesses you provide.
Research Question:
Do US border security practices help protect or hurt the overall security of the nation?
Thesis:
The US Cus.

Gabrielle HetlandAlthough the United States has a very stron.docx
Gabrielle Hetland
Although the United States has a very strong and effective intelligence community, there are several unavoidable challenges that set back some of the processes and hinders the intelligence community from working to its full potential. The most important challenges that I see include flow of information, civil liberties and secrecy.
Since the United States does not have one large domestic intelligence agency that completes all intelligence-related tasks, it is much more difficult for them to be able to transfer information to the right people in a timely manner. I think it is very beneficial that we are able to have such a wide variety of intelligence agencies, each with a specific mission set so subject matter experts can focus on their mission to the best of their abilities, however, on the flip side, many of them have to jump through hoops to get additional information on certain subjects or track down the originator of a product. Having so many different agencies requires a lot more work to get a good flow of communication between the agencies and a lot of valuable information can be lost in the process.
Civil liberties always has and always will be a major challenge for the intelligence community. In order to do their job effectively, intelligence personnel need to be able to conduct surveillance around the clock. Especially in today’s world, people do not want their rights to private taken away, making this jobs very difficult for intelligence and law enforcement personnel. With the rise of domestic terrorism and homegrown extremists, the IC will continue to need increased access in to people’s lives and workplace in order to detect these criminals and prevent future activity.
Lastly, secrecy has been a major challenge to the IC because much of the information dealt with is classified and needs to remain a secret for national security concerns, however, people do not want information kept from there. It is difficult to determine what information should be released to the public to ensure their safety while at the same time, not disrupting an operation. I think the IC has done everything right so far in regards to these issues. There is really no way to fix these challenges while at the same time maintain the high level of national security that we have.

I think it is very beneficial that we are able to have such a wide variety of intelligence agencies, each with a specific mission set so subject matter experts can focus on their mission to the best of their abilities, however, on the flip side, many of them have to jump through hoops to get additional information on certain subjects or track down the originator of a product. Having so many different agencies requires a lot more work to get a good flow of communication between the agencies and a lot of valuable information can be lost in the process.
Civil liberties always has and always will be a major challenge for the intelligence community. In order to do their job effectively, intelligence personnel need to be able to conduct surveillance around the clock. Especially in today’s world, people do not want their rights to private taken away, making this jobs very difficult for intelligence and law enforcement personnel. With the rise of domestic terrorism and homegrown extremists, the IC will continue to need increased access in to people’s lives and workplace in order to detect these criminals and prevent future activity.
Lastly, secrecy has been a major challenge to the IC because much of the information dealt with is classified and needs to remain a secret for national security concerns, however, people do not want information kept from there. It is difficult to determine what information should be released to the public to ensure their safety while at the same time, not disrupting an operation. I think the IC has done everything right so far in regards to these issues. There is really no way to fix these challenges while at the same time maintain the high level of national security that we have.
