to maintain the safety of all US citizens

The Department of Homeland Security’s primary mission is to protect the United States and its people from threats (terrorism, natural disasters, cyberattacks, etc.), secure borders and infrastructure, and coordinate responses — not to conduct offensive military operations abroad or handle security of Americans in other countries (that is primarily State/DoD).
