Homeland Security in Los Angeles

The department played a pivotal role in Day 5 when DHS employee Karen Hayes and her associate Miles Papazian took over CTU Los Angeles following a Sentox VX nerve gas attack that killed nearly 40% of the staff. The takeover was ordered by Vice President Hal Gardner and involved bringing in many people from DHS, including Jim Hill, to absorb CTU into DHS's existing structure and protocols. Hayes and Papazian were able to assert control over CTU throughout the day as a result of their newfound authority from the White House and the surge in new CTU employees that came from DHS.

Day 6[]

Via a bulletin issued by White House Chief of Staff Tom Lennox, Homeland Security was to flag any Government employees with a Muslim background and have their duties restricted. This included CTU Agent Nadia Yassir, who brought her complaint to Bill Buchanan.

Background information and notes[]

  • The United States Department of Homeland Security was created a year after the September 11, 2001 attacks to further counterterrorism goals, as CTU does on 24.
  • The fact that there is a DHS on the series would set Season 2 post-2002.
