WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Haley Stevens (MI-11) sent a formal letter to Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, raising urgent concerns about the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) diminished focus on preventing domestic terrorism and the alarming leadership gap at the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3).

Rep. Stevens’s letter follows recent reports that CP3 has been drastically downsized, its focus on countering violent extremism scaled back, and is currently being led by an individual with extremely limited professional experience in counterterrorism or homeland security.

In the letter, Rep. Stevens demands answers to a series of oversight questions, including:

  • Staffing and Organizational Changes

  • Appointment of Thomas Fugate

  • Resource Reallocation and Program Shifts

  • Strategic Response to Rising Political Violence 


The letter cites the recent rise of political violence and the urgent need for a strong federal prevention strategy.

Rep. Stevens has requested written responses from DHS no later than July 30, 2025. She remains committed to aggressive oversight and ensuring that DHS meets its obligations to protect the American people from extremist violence.
