SECURITY OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 / www.oig.dhs.gov July 13, 2022 The Honorable Gary C. Peters, Chairman The Honorable Rob Portman, Ranking Member Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Bennie G. Thompson, Chairman The Honorable John Katko, Ranking Member Committee on Homeland Security U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairman Peters, Ranking Member Portman, Chairman Thompson, and Ranking Member Katko: The Inspector General Act provides that an Inspector General shall have timely access to all Department records and other materials related to Department programs overseen by the Inspector General. I am writing to offer a briefing regarding ongoing records access issues that we have been experiencing with the Department of Homeland Security. There are two specific issues that we would like to address with your respective committees. First, the Department notified us that many U.S. Secret Service (USSS) text messages, from January 5 and 6, 2021, were erased as part of a device-replacement program. The USSS erased those text messages after OIG requested records of electronic communications from the USSS, as part of our evaluation of events at the Capitol on January 6. Second, DHS personnel have repeatedly told OIG inspectors that they were not permitted to provide records directly to OIG and that such records had to first undergo review by DHS attorneys. This review led to weeks-long delays in OIG obtaining records and created confusion over whether all records had been produced. I will make myself and my staff available at your convenience. Please call me with questions, or your staff may contact Kristen Fredricks, Chief of Staff, at @e Sincerely, Joseph V. Cuffari, PhD. Inspector General
