I found this, and it may be useful for expansion later, as it has some good personal bio information:

Judges can't judge

Responding to a question about Targeted killing, Jeh "Johnson said only the executive branch, not the courts, are equipped to make decisions about who qualifies as an enemy," according to Obama Lawyers: Citizens Targeted if at War With US. - 67.224.51.189 (talk) 18:54, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Note that at the JSOC meeting of 4 Feb 2010, he also interpreted the "laws of war" as not allowing the targeting of low-level members of non-al-Qaeda terrorist organizations (like al-Shabab) because they were not (he believed) included under the Authorization for use of Military Force (2001). IOW, he has a nuanced view of even the executive's power in this area. Found this in Daniel Klaidman's new book, Kill or Capture (Houghton, 2012), p. 213. --Michael K SmithTalk 16:48, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Religion

Is Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson a Muslim? I have heard that he is a Muslim but have been unable to verify this from the Wikipedia article. Most other Wikipedia articles do not hesitate to mention the religion of the subjects. Is there some reason why the religion of Jeh Johnson is not mentioned?2602:306:33B8:1A60:88C2:4D99:2C85:A5AF (talk) 20:42, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

I've found no evidence that he's Muslim other than far-right websites that did not provide any documentation.

The Wikipedia article mentioned that he was a muslim as of yesterday when I checked. It's been scrubbed now. Last I checked, Wikipedia was not a "far right" website. Since, as the other person pointed out, most articles mention the person's religion, it is odd that this one does not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8A:402:CFBA:D84F:ABD8:1096:7D8B (talk) 01:32, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

According to this article: [1], Jeh Johnson was quoted as telling Congress: "They all tell me that ISIL has hijacked my religion." That's a strong suggestion that Jeh is a Muslim. And if he is, why is it being hidden or down played? Carlwikiedit (talk) 16:02, 20 August 2016 (UTC) (CNM)

Entry sentiment

This is written like a partisan rah-rah speech and should revert to factual and neutral.--NorthBond (talk) 18:57, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Probable biased comment?

I am not liking the current final sentence in this article: "Recent hiring by President Obama have reversed that trend as he hired a woman to run the federal reserve and a few black men to run the military and other high department chairs, thus meeting the proper racial quota expected by the media."

For starters, there is no source provided, and a claim like this really needs one. Second, the last part, "meeting the proper racial quota expected by the media", as written sounds like Obama somehow reports to the media and ought to meet their expectations, or at least that he's tailored his actions to do what a third party wants. Without a source specifically affirming or denying the claim, I don't see how that statement could ever be proved or disproved.

If a source could be found, that sentence could stay, but it needs to be rewritten and I am not yet sure of the best way to reword it.66.64.62.66 (talk) 13:12, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Actually a heavy left wing bias of mainstream media is well known and seen in the the campaign coverage on the 2016 elections. And Obama Administration's over-representation of African Americans versus their prevalence in the general population is a fact seen through simple observation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.186.216.19 (talk) 11:16, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

How the hell did this guy get that first name, is it Dutch or what?

Anyone can shed light on this important detail missing in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.100.145.147 (talk) 18:37, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Read the second paragraph of the article. Ratemonth (talk) 19:10, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
Indeed, it is resolved — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.100.145.147 (talk) 21:22, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

It may be a shorthand of an African name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.186.216.19 (talk) 11:51, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Experience in the 9/11 attacks

I do not think that this is notable, and sounds like PR.

Homeland Security Section

This section seems to be extremely biased and isn't even about Secretary Johnson. It's mostly regarding Sheriff Smith and his opinions. Sheriff Smith, in the article cited, mistakenly refers to Secretary Johnson's press release as a "letter," which is misleading and inaccurate. I would suggest the removal of the entire section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KaleeElizabeth (talk • contribs) 17:47, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

I second this. The final two paragraphs are dedicated entirely to quoting a single sherriff who disagrees with the principal subject. I am justifying the removal of this material per https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Content_removal#Irrelevant_information which allows bold discretion for content removal with reason. My reason in this case is for the reasons mentioned above which qualify under WP:IRI. Andrew B (talk) 04:25, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

The real unaddressed issue would be what Johnson did to secure the southern border and what, if anything, he did to lessen the quantity of 12 million illegal immigrants in the country. Do you really have "homeland security" if you do not know, to the nearest million, how many citizens of other nations are wandering illegally around? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.152.216.213 (talk) 01:29, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
