A Message from Secretary Kristi Noem on Return to Office

Release Date: January 29, 2025

Dear DHS Employees,

On his first day in office, President Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum regarding Return to In-Person Work. While most DHS employees are not able to work remotely due the nature of our mission, DHS is proceeding with steps to ensure full compliance with the Presidential Memorandum.

In alignment with the President’s Mandate, DHS will fully comply with the directive to return to in-person work. All eligible employees are expected to work full time at their respective duty stations unless excused due to a disability, qualifying medical condition, or other compelling reason, as certified by the agency head and the employee’s supervisor. We are finalizing the necessary plans, policies, and procedures to ensure full compliance with this mandate and will continue to keep you informed throughout the process.

Thank you for everything you do for our country.


Kristi Noem
Secretary of Homeland Security

~~~~~

With honor and integrity,
we will safeguard the American people, 
our homeland, and our values.
