What is the percentage of Hispanic employees across all DHS agencies in 2025?
Executive summary
There is no definitive, sourced figure in the provided reporting that states the percentage of Hispanic employees across all Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies for the year 2025; the most explicit DHS figure in the materials is an older statement that DHS employed 22 percent Hispanic employees, drawn from an archived DHS report (FY2018) [1]. Contemporary reporting included in the search documents describes workforce growth and turnover across DHS in 2024–2025 but does not supply an updated Hispanic-share percentage for 2025 [2] [3].
1. The single clear data point: DHS’s archived claim of 22 percent Hispanic representation
DHS’s archived inclusive-diversity annual report asserts that the Department “employs the largest percentage of Hispanics in the Federal Government, 22 percent,” a figure presented in the FY2018 document preserved on DHS.gov [1]; that is the only direct percentage of Hispanic representation in DHS personnel found in the supplied sources.
2. Why that 22 percent figure cannot be assumed to represent 2025
The 22 percent number comes from an archived, pre-2020 DHS product and is not timestamped as a 2025 statistic in the materials provided, so using it as the 2025 value would conflate historical reporting with current reality [1]. Other supplied items include workforce headcounts and operational changes through 2025—such as contingency-plan totals and component hiring increases—that could materially shift demographic shares, but those items do not break out Hispanic representation [4] [2].
3. Workforce changes in 2024–2025 that could alter demographic shares
Reporting indicates DHS’s overall workforce changed substantially in 2024–2025: the department’s contingency plans listed 271,927 employees in 2025 and component-level growth—ICE, CBP, and Coast Guard increases—was documented in contemporaneous reporting [2] [4]. Such growth, hiring surges and voluntary separations programs described in 2025 reporting mean that any historic percentage (like the 22 percent from FY2018) could have increased or decreased by 2025, but none of the supplied sources provide the necessary demographic breakdown to confirm direction or magnitude [2] [3].
4. Official diversity and EEO infrastructure exists—but no updated public 2025 Hispanic share in these sources
DHS maintains an EEO Management Section and has previously published diversity reports and employee-survey data, indicating institutional capacity to track and report workforce demographics [5] [6]. However, the provided EEO and FEVS materials in the search results do not include a 2025 departmental Hispanic-percentage statistic, so they cannot be cited as the source of a current percentage [5] [6].
5. How other provided sources frame Hispanic employment in the federal workforce more broadly
Historic and topical federal reporting from OPM and other agencies has looked at Hispanic hiring and retention trends—OPM’s FY2018 report on Hispanic employment in the federal government and DHS’s archived diversity report are cited in the supplied materials—but those documents are retrospective and not substitutes for a 2025 DHS-wide demographic figure [7] [1]. Independent analyses in the search results focus on broader Hispanic labor-market resilience and national employment trends rather than DHS-specific headcounts [8].
6. Bottom line: the question cannot be answered with the supplied sources; here is what is known
Based on the documents provided, the only explicit DHS percentage available is the archived statement that DHS employed 22 percent Hispanic employees (FY2018) [1]. The search results include 2024–2025 reporting on DHS headcount changes and workforce programs that imply the department’s demographic composition may have shifted, but none of those contemporary items present a 2025 Hispanic-share statistic; therefore, a defensible, source-cited 2025 percentage for Hispanic employees across all DHS agencies cannot be produced from the supplied reporting [2] [3] [4].
