Has DHS published an updated Inclusive Diversity or workforce demographic report for 2025–2026 that lists race/ethnicity by component?
Executive summary
No verifiable evidence in the provided reporting shows that the Department of Homeland Security has published a new 2025–2026 “Inclusive Diversity” or workforce demographic report that breaks out race and ethnicity by component; the most directly relevant DHS publication in the search is an archived FY2018 Inclusive Diversity report, while current DHS pages describe DEIA programs but do not contain a component-level race/ethnicity table for 2025–2026 [1] [2] [3].
1. Past reporting exists but is dated: DHS’s FY2018 Inclusive Diversity report is available as an archive
DHS previously published an Inclusive Diversity annual report that is available in the DHS archive (the FY2018 Inclusive Diversity/annual report), which demonstrates the department has produced component-level diversity reporting in the past but does not constitute a 2025–2026 update [1].
2. Current DHS DEIA pages confirm ongoing programs, not a 2025–2026 demographic publication
DHS’s public materials on Equal Employment Opportunity and DEIA outline policy, guidance, and strategic plans—such as the EEO Management Section’s role and ICE’s FY2022–FY2026 DEIA strategic plan references—but these sources describe programs and planning rather than producing a consolidated, published workforce demographic report for 2025–2026 that lists race/ethnicity by component [2] [3].
3. Federal standards and deadlines are in flux, creating reporting ambiguity
Federal race and ethnicity data standards were revised in 2024 (SPD 15) and subsequent implementation timelines have shifted, including an October 2025 report noting deadline extensions through March 2026 for agencies to adopt new categories like MENA and combined Hispanic/Latino approaches; those changes complicate agency reporting and may delay or reshape how DHS would present component-level race/ethnicity tables for 2025–2026 [4] [5].
4. Absence of evidence: available sources do not show a DHS 2025–2026 component-level race/ethnicity report
A targeted review of the provided search results found archived diversity reports and DEIA program pages but no published DHS document explicitly titled or dated for 2025–2026 that lists race/ethnicity broken down by component; the materials that do exist discuss DEIA plans or past reports but do not contain the requested 2025–2026 demographic tables [1] [2] [3].
5. Alternative explanations and reporting limitations
It remains possible DHS has produced internal or component-specific demographic releases not captured in the supplied search set, or that DHS intends to align any new public-facing tables with the updated federal SPD 15 categories and crosswalking rules, which federal guidance indicates will affect data products through 2026 and beyond [4] [5]. The available sources do not permit asserting that such a 2025–2026 public report exists, nor do they allow ruling out unpublished internal datasets; therefore the conclusion rests on absence of published evidence in the documents provided [1] [2] [3].
6. What to watch next and what the evidence implies
Given the SPD 15 updates and the documented DHS DEIA planning through FY2026, any forthcoming DHS workforce demographic publication that lists race/ethnicity by component would likely reference the 2024 federal standards, include crosswalked historical data for comparability, and be timed to comply with implementation deadlines extended into early 2026; absent a public release in the referenced materials, the prudent interpretation is that a public 2025–2026 component-level race/ethnicity report was not present in the search corpus and may be pending or limited to internal use [4] [5] [3].
