Shouldn't it be the FBI or DOJ then, not DHS?
Do you mean the Department of Homeland Security?
you must mean “The IC” or DOJ not the US military? The DoD doesn’t have jurisdiction
Note that the a Secret Service, ATF and ICE are all sub-departments within DHS, although there was talk as recently as this month to move Secret Service back to Treasury Dept. It does seem clear that some of these departments have lesser tarnished reputations than, say, CBP (which generally struggles to recruit anyone literate, let alone the standards of the FBI or Secret Service).
Can someone explain why this falls under DHS and not the FBI?
Now run by the DHS and the NSA!
Those are US gov't agencies, not "dissidents in other nations."
This might not count as much, but the DoD is a different organization than the FBI or the CIA.
It's called the Department of Defense, not Offense :)
The NSA and the Justice Department are part of the same branch of government.
