  The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Friday gutted three oversight offices by placing more than 100 workers on paid leave, a Trump administration official and two former officials said, sidelining them as President Donald Trump amps up his immigration crackdown.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is planning to reduce its oversight and accountability functions as part of broader government spending cuts. This decision comes amidst a push for fiscal responsibility, aiming to streamline operations and reduce costs. Critics argue that cutting back on oversight could lead to increased risks of mismanagement, fraud, and abuse within the department, which is responsible for critical national security functions. The proposed cuts include reducing staff in the Office of Inspector General, which monitors the DHS's activities to ensure they are conducted efficiently, effectively, and legally. This move has sparked concerns about transparency and the potential weakening of checks and balances within one of the government's key security agencies.
