<h2>Answer:  In 2002.</h2>

Context/details:

The Homeland Security Act, which created the Department of Homeland Security, was passed in 2002, following the September 11, 2001 attacks by terrorists against the United States, which involved hijacking planes and flying them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.  The Department of Homeland Security describes its mission as ensuring "a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards."

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Title I, Section 101), listed the top three priorities of the Department of Homeland Security as:

  • (A) prevent terrorist attacks within the United States;
  • (B) reduce the vulnerability of the United States to  terrorism;
  • (C) minimize the damage, and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks that do occur within the United  States;

Also listed as part of Homeland Security's mission is that it will  "monitor connections between illegal drug trafficking and terrorism, coordinate efforts to sever such  connections, and otherwise contribute to efforts to interdict  illegal drug trafficking."

The Department of Homeland Security also acts "as a focal point  regarding natural and manmade crises and emergency  planning," and works to coordinate efforts between various agencies and law enforcement agencies  in order to achieve its security goals.  According to the Department of Homeland Security's own website, the Department of Homeland Security combines "22 different federal departments and agencies into a unified, integrated Cabinet agency."

In a short paragraph, describe one of the following foreign policy tools
sveticcg [70]
Diplomacy is the act of dealing with other nations, usually through negotiation and discussion. Diplomacy involves meetings between political leaders, sending diplomatic messages, and making public statements about the relationship between countries. The American president, for example, often hosts leaders and chief diplomats of other nations at the White House in order to discuss a variety of issues. Most diplomacy occurs behind the scenes as officials hold secret negotiations or meet privately to discuss key issues.

Approaches to Diplomacy
States generally pursue diplomacy in one of three ways:

Unilaterally: The states acts alone, without the assistance or consent of any other state.Bilaterally: The state works in conjunction with another state.Multilaterally: The state works in conjunction with several other states.

There are pros and cons to each of these three approaches. Acting unilaterally, for example, allows a state to do what it wants without compromise, but it must also bear all the costs itself. Acting with allies, on the other hand, allows a state to maintain good relations and to share the diplomatic burden, but this often requires compromise
