BACK TO THE OFFICE: DHS ends remote work under Trump’s return-to-office order
Acting DHS Secretary Benjamine Huffman mandated an end to teleworking for all department employees following President Trump’s Day 1 executive order. Huffman emphasized that remote work, while useful in some cases, has been misused. Nearly 40% of hours worked in key agencies like CISA were remote in 2024, which he deemed unacceptable.
