United States Secretary of Homeland Security

The United States Secretary Of Homeland Security is the head of the United States Department of Homeland Security, the body concerned with protecting the United States and the safety of U.S. citizens. The secretary is a member of the president's Cabinet. The new department consisted primarily of components transferred from other cabinet departments because of their role in homeland security, such as the Coast Guard, the Federal Protective Service, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (which includes the Border Patrol), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement(which includes Homeland Security Investigations), the Secret Service, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It does not include either the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Central Intelligence Agency.

Mukuro Ikusaba is the current Secretary of Homeland Security, having been given that position by personal preference of the President after the death of Geese Howard.
