    DHS Chief Privacy Officer and Chief FOIA Officer Roman Jankowski issued a memorandum directing all DHS offices and subcomponents to comply with President Trump's “Radical Transparency about Wasteful Spending” memorandum. The policy mandates public disclosure of the following:

    1. Executed contracts and grants.
    2. Historical daily schedules of senior agency officials.
    3. Management directives and instructions.
    4. Finalized policy related to agency functions.
    5. Congressional correspondence under DHS control.
    6. FOIA logs.
    7. Frequently requested records (subject to three or more FOIA requests).
    8. Records likely of public interest, including those related to public events and disaster responses.

    In addition to posting these required categories of records, DHS offices must also "proactively post additional records that provide transparency into operations." DHS components and offices are required to include these activities in a monthly report.
