View Rule

In 2003, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published an interim final rule that effectuated provisions of title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to the end that no person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance from the Department of Homeland Security. The Department will issue a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing to revise and update the interim final rule to reflect statutory changes and the current structure of the Department.
