Latest News about Thomas Fugate
Thomas Fugate was reported to have taken on leadership responsibilities in the Department of Homeland Security's Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, the office responsible for federal terrorism and targeted-violence prevention efforts. The appointment drew attention because of his young age and limited background in national security, sparking criticism and public debate about the qualifications for such a role. DHS later said he did not hold operational control of the office and described him as a special assistant with additional duties.
