<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."

How did the Tang Dynasty earn the "Mandate of Heaven" and<br> then lose it?
yKpoI14uk [10]
DONT CLICK ON ANY LINKS!!
If a king ruled unfairly he could lose this approval, which would result in his downfall. Overthrow, natural disasters, and famine were taken as a sign that the ruler had lost the Mandate of Heaven. ... The Mandate of Heaven did not require a ruler to be of noble birth, and had no time limitations.
