Homeland Security Headlines
The Department of Homeland Security's independent watchdog agency has stepped up its oversight of the Secret Service's investigation into the Colombia prostitution scandal.
During a tour of Mexico and Central America, US Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano says the war on drugs is not a failure.
 U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says Barack Obama's security was "never at risk" from a recent incident allegedly involving Secret Service agents and Colombian prostitutes that overshadowed the president's visit to a Latin American summit.
The Secret Service is investigating itself in the Colombia prostitution scandal, rather than turn the probe over to the independent Inspector General who typically looks into allegations of misconduct by Department of Homeland Security officials. The approach appears to be the result of a special carve-out for the Secret Service forged a decade ago -- setting it apart from the standard described in a 2009 internal DHS memo, which specifically asserts that the Inspector General is "statutorily responsible for conducting and coordinating all investigations" of wrongdoing by other Homeland Security employees.
American law enforcement agencies say they have "no credible information" of a terror attack in the United States tied to next week's one year anniversary of the May 2 raid that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Even so, in an advisory issued late Wednesday and obtained by ABC News, FBI and Homeland Security officials warned of "renewed efforts to target Western aviation."
