Which two agencies fall under the jurisdiction of Homeland Security?

The correct answer identifies two agencies that operate under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Both the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (BCP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are critical components of DHS, which focuses on securing the nation from threats and ensuring lawful immigration and border management.

Customs and Border Protection plays a vital role in protecting the borders and facilitating lawful trade and travel, while ICE is responsible for enforcing immigration laws and investigating criminal activities that cross international borders. The inclusion of these two agencies reflects the core mission of DHS in terms of safeguarding the nation and its borders.

In contrast, the other options present agencies that serve different functions and jurisdictions. The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) are under the Department of Justice, focusing on federal law enforcement and drug-related crimes, respectively. The NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) and FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) handle transportation safety and emergency management but do not fall under the DHS. The ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) and NSA (National Security Agency) operate under different government departments, with ATF focusing on regulating and investigating alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives
