Maryland's Management of Homeland Security Grant Program Awards for Fiscal Years 2011-13
From the Highlights: "In most instances, Maryland distributed and spent the HSGP [Homeland Security Grant Program] awards in compliance with applicable laws and regulations; however, the State lacked adequate controls over more than $10.8 million in grant funds we reviewed. This occurred because FEMA and the State did not ensure adequate management and oversight of HSGP funds. Specifically, FEMA and Maryland need to improve the following areas: [1] Subgrantee Monitoring, [2] Property Management, [3] Subgrantee Procurement, [4] Obligations to Subgrantees, and [5] Management and Administration Costs. Improvements in these areas will enhance Maryland's effectiveness in the overall use of the grant funds to improve preparedness and response capabilities. Better management and oversight will also reduce the risk associated with the State's management of FEMA grant funds, such as property misuse, loss, damage, or theft."

Monitoring the Future National Survey Results on Drug Use: 2014 College Students & Adults Ages 19-55
"Monitoring the Future (MTF), now in its 40th year, is a research program conducted at the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research under a series of investigator-initiated research grants from the National Institute on Drug Abuse--one of the National Institutes of Health. The study comprises several ongoing series of annual surveys of nationally representative samples of 8th- and 10th-grade students (begun in 1991), 12th-grade students (begun in 1975), and high school graduates into adulthood (begun in 1976). The current monograph reports the results of the repeated cross-sectional surveys of high school graduates since 1976 as we follow them into their adult years. Segments of the general adult population represented in these follow-up surveys include: [1] American college students [2] Their age-peers who are not attending college, sometimes called the 'forgotten half' [3] All young adult high school graduates of modal ages 19 to 30 (or 19-28 for trend estimates), which we refer to as the 'young adult' sample [4] High school graduates at the specific later modal ages of 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55 In this volume, historical and developmental changes in substance abuse and related attitudes and beliefs occurring at these age strata receive particular emphasis."

CBP Needs to Strengthen Its Oversight and Policy to Better Care for Migrants Needing Medical Attention
From the DHS OIG [Department of Homeland Security, Office of Inspector General] Highlights: "In 2018, two children died in U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody. We investigated the deaths and reported no misconduct or malfeasance by DHS personnel. Subsequently, Congress requested we review CBP's standards of care for migrants. Our audit objective was to assess whether CBP's policies and procedures safeguard detained migrants experiencing medical emergencies or illnesses along the southwest border. We made three recommendations to improve medical attention and procedures for migrants at the southwest border. CBP needs better oversight and policy to adequately safeguard migrants experiencing medical emergencies or illnesses along the southwest border. According to CBP's policies, once an individual is in custody, CBP agents and officers are required to conduct health interviews and 'regular and frequent' welfare checks to identify individuals who may be experiencing serious medical conditions. However, CBP could not always demonstrate staff conducted required medical screenings or consistent welfare checks for all 98 individuals whose medical cases we reviewed. This occurred because CBP did not provide sufficient oversight and clear policies and procedures, or ensure officers and agents were adequately trained to implement medical support policies. As a result, CBP may not identify individuals experiencing medical emergencies or provide appropriate care in a timely manner."

ICE Faces Challenges in Its Efforts to Assist Human Trafficking Victims
From the Highlights: "We determined the extent to which U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) identifies and tracks human trafficking crimes to assist victims. Human trafficking involves a trafficker compelling a victim to engage in labor or services or a commercial sex act through force, fraud, or coercion. Anyone under 18 years old compelled to engage in a commercial sex act is a victim of child sex trafficking. [...] ICE did not adequately identify and track human trafficking crimes. Specifically, ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) did not accurately track dissemination and receipt of human trafficking tips, did not consistently follow up on tips, and did not maintain accurate data. Additionally, HSI special agents did not consistently and properly maintain human trafficking case files from initiation to closure. Finally, we found several examples of incomplete and inaccurate victim assistance data."
