Border Security White Papers

Information Technology: Terrorist Watch Lists Should Be Consolidated to Promote Better Integration and Sharing

Overview Generally, the federal government's approach to using watch lists in performing its border security mission is decentralized and nonstandard, largely because these lists were developed in response to individual agencies' unique missions, including their respective legal, cultural, and systems environments. Specifically, as shown in the figure below, nine federal agencies - which prior to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spanned the Departments of Defense, Justice, State, Transportation, and the Treasury - develop and maintain 12 watch lists.
