A division within the Department of Homeland Security tasked with preventing terrorism is being led by a 22-year-old recent college graduate.

Thomas Fugate, who graduated magna cum laude with a degree in politics and law from the University of Texas at San Antonio a year ago, is now spearheading the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships at DHS, ProPublica reported Tuesday.

The center, also known as CP3, is mainly concerned with terrorism prevention and supports nationwide efforts to combat targeted attacks like hate-fueled violence.

Prior to assuming his role at the DHS, Fugate served as an “advance team member” on President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, according to his LinkedIn page. He also interned at several political organizations including The Heritage Foundation, widely known as the think tank behind Project 2025, and the Texas House of Representatives.

1. God help us!

2. The 'institutional knowledge' that had been acquired through years of work experience is being LOST--all

to boost Trumps EGO and line the wallets of Trump, his family and those who already have think wallets.

It is not just immoral--but dangerous to all of us and the USA and the msn is not reporting on this fact!!

9. Wow, Magna Cum Laude from UTSA

He definitely earned this position of responsibility.

11. Sorry to be an old scold, but I am one.

He’s far too inexperienced, but UTSA is a perfectly good school and, no matter his political alignment, good for him for earning magma cum laude status. My arguments are with his lack of experience and likely political biases.

15. I wouldn't care if he'd been MCL from Harvard or MIT or Stanford.

Rather, that's the only accomplishment he's got - except being a Trumpist.

[BadgerMom]

16. We're in agreement.

[Mawspam2]

12. Nothing to worry about.

He reached level 27 on Call of Duty 6 -Black Ops.
